Dorothy, children, and grandchildren, we share in your sorrow and rejoice that Dennis is at peace with the Lord. He fought the good fight,he truly was a special soul with a heart of gold, I loved the many times Roberta and I shared "walking" the streets of the "Grove" with him zipping along with us and by us as we were gabbing away,(insert a big smile here). His voice at Mass, that ever present grin, a hug, and the love he had for his family was so evident in his personality. God did gain an angel, hoping he meets up with our son, they can share some memories. God bless you all..Sue and Ted
