  2. I am so very sorry for this family’s loss. I met Dennis through his beautiful daughter Jennifer. We had a great many laughs together!! While grocery shopping for my parents at Giant Eagle I would turn the corner and there Dennis was. We would just start laughing and it really made my day! I will miss seeing him at the store. Rest easy my friend! You will be missed.

  3. I’m so sorry for your loss! I was so sad to hear of Dennis passing. I’ve known Dennis for over 10 years. Dennis was my patient at cardiopulmonary rehab, he was also a good friend and was part of our rehab family. He will be greatly missed, we had many good times during his years attending rehab, he would always bring us his famous and delicious chilli when he made it. My thoughts and prayers are with the family! I pray the Lord will bring peace and comfort during this difficult time!🙏🏻🙏🏻
