Dennis was a true friend who was always there to help you with anything at anytime. He help me through some very difficult times when my parents died and I was very lucky to have him as a close friend since grade school.
I will always remember our time playing softball , Lake Rathbun , Petes Lounge , the race track , and our trip to California in the Mercury.
Rest in peace my
Southside friend.
