We have so enjoyed creating family memories having Dennis in our lives.
Sharing a single memory of "Dennis J" is nearly impossible. Growing up only two years apart we were always close and shared so much through the years - childhood friends, our years at St. Raymond's, then Nativity High, and there the good times began for the four of us, Den & Carol and Al & Mike. We married within three months of each other and were best man and maid of honor at each other's weddings. We raised our families through the years and, though not always close in proximity, always close in heart. We shared vacations and many happy times with each other, our families and extended families. And, of course, many wonderful times together with family and friends at "Tobermory USA"!
I miss you "Bro"
You are forever in our hearts,
AJ and Mickey
Q: What will you never forget about Dennis?
A: I will forever remember his loving heart and compassion. He was the most sincerest man, that I ever met. To know Dennis is to know you had a real friend. I will miss him dearly. I will always cherish our Casino road trips together, the four of us, sharing such a great time.
Dennis was a loving husband and father. He was a
solid family man and also my younger brother.
He was the best hugger I ever knew; when he hugged you, you knew you were hugged!
I will miss your hugs little brother and I will miss you.
Rest in peace,
Your loving sister, Marlene
