Denny boy. I can't believe it's been 4 years since you went home to be with God. I  miss you everyday. Love, Dad 

Dennis you are truly missed, I will always remember the great times I was lucky enough to spend with you and your family..You were like a brother always treated me like one of the Nedrow clan, just like the rest of your brothers and sisters!!! Whenever you came into a room or wherever you were the first thing I would notice is you Always had a Smile which was quite infectious!! Rest In Peace Dennis, we’ll meet again one day!  Love Allison 

Oh, son of mine, my heart breaks.
I remember sitting on the dock, in Lighthouse point, watching the boats go by and you said you wished we had a boat. Two months later was Hurricane Wilma.  You didn't know I had gotten a boat.  We went out of Lighthouse point in 40 foot of water.  You could see the fish and crabs walking along the bottom.  The water was crystal clear.  You said you wished we had fishing poles with us now.  I will miss our fishing trips and long talks.
You were always loved more than you knew. -Dad-
Your journey is not over, Your going home.  You will be in our hearts always, and always missed and loved.  Praying you have a safe journey and warm reception dear heart.  -Dad & Diane_

Life often felt very scary and out of control when I was young, as I’m sure it did for everyone. My brother would have these seizures,probably 8 a day or more .. smash his head need to go to hospital.. every meal ..always something constant panic or worry .. but when the whole family was together and all my cousins would all be in a group. The older ones would walk us to the store and the park and I would forget. I felt safe, like I could breath .(family=security) I cherish every gathering..They were the best part of life .. walking to the frozen   lake with Chris and you Dennis .. or just hanging out in the field behind uncle rods house are some of my best childhood memories. I wish I would’ve gotten to spend more time with you Dennis as an adult and my heart is breaking for whole the family because you will truly be missed.  Please give Nanny a big huge for me and poke Uncle Joe in the nose because he always said “ If you go to the Poconos..they poke u in the nose” and don’t play cards with him .. he’ll win every time . Please

My adorable,sweet and funny cousin Dennis, you were always so easy to be around. I loved spending time with you. Often You, Christine and I would be together watching Tabatha. I remember this one time we were walking Tabatha to the park and she tripped on her shoe lace and skinned her knee and she was crying and there happened to be a sign right there on the side of the road that said “deaf child area”. You pointed to the sign and said at least we are in the deaf area and we’re not disturbing anybody and I just looked at you and I busted out laughing . We had to sit down in the road we were all sitting laughing and even tabby started laughing she had these big tears coming down her cheeks but she was chucking so hard .. hearing her laugh made me laugh harder .. it was such a good day.  I remember being around you was just fun, easy and eventful lol.. My family and my cousins mean everything to me and I cherish those memories of my childhood. 

I didn’t know Dennis much in my adult life but I do remember him from when I was little which just goes to show you what an everlasting impression he had on me. I remember he came to live with us at one point and Dennis and my brother were swinging me by my arms and legs and when they let go I fell in dog poop LOL.  It was such a funny memory and I’ll never forget it. I hope he knows how much I love him and I wish I got to know him better as an adult. But either way he means so much to me and I appreciate him giving me so much attention when I was little. May angels lead him in.

So very sorry for your loss, for everyone’s loss.  A life gone at such a young age seems to hurt deeper somehow. We are never prepared for that I guess. I want to tell you, the ache in your heart lessens, but I can’t. For me, it’s tiny breaks of thinking about them and forgetting for a moment they are not with us physically anymore.  Remembering that they are at peace and knowing our siblings wouldn’t want us to be sad, each one of them would want us to be happy. Remembering happy times together helps, looking at pictures too. Somehow we gotta go on, hold them close in our hearts and mind and know that they get to take the love we have for them with them.  A tiny piece of our heart is gone too!😢Lately I feel the only way to deal with this is another Pink Floyd’s song”comfortably numb” except it’s more like Uncomfortably numb!  I love you all so much and I’m here to listen, to cry, to reminisce and help in anyway I can.  

Dennis James Nedrow, wow Dennis , somehow I forgot your middle name was after Uncle Jim.  I didn’t know you could play the guitar either until recently. It’s been so many years since we spend time together.  I didn’t know you were artistic like your dad either. 

My last Memory of you was you teaching me to play the lead to “wish you were here” by Pink Floyd on guitar.  I told you it was my song for my brother Joe in heaven and now it’s my song for you too Dennis.  But maybe it should be “wish you didn’t have to go”.  Because even if it is your time to be at peace with the lord, in our time it’s like another little piece of our heart is cut out.  And we have to go on with our lives somehow, even though they’ll never be the same!  

I remember You were a funny kid who like to make people laugh. You always went with the flow.  When the judge asked who would you like to live with, your mom or your dad?  You said if my dad has my clothes, my dad.  If my mom has my clothes, my mom.  You never wanted to hurt anyone’s feelings even as a young boy.  

I love you and know your in heaven with Nanny, uncle Joe, Aunt Colleen and so many others. Rest In Peace Dennis.

Dennis, you will be missed.  I know we didn’t spend much of our adult lives together but I remember all the fun times we had as kids.  I remember our family camping trips.  The fun we had racing our bikes down Clinton Street. I remember being the envy of all the other kids walking around on our stilts!  

I hope you are resting and in a better place.  You were taken from this world way too soon! 

My handsome, loving, funny, amazing Artist baby brother...I Love You So Much!     I will miss your jokes, your laugh, hugs and the way you tilted your head with a smile and moved your hands when you were talking to  me. I will forever miss your sweet face. A piece of my heart is gone and no amount of glue (time) will put it back together!                                                    I will miss how goofy you were (just look at some of our pics) ! You always made me laugh. Brothers are a blessing from God and you were a blessing to me. You will always be my baby - my flat face cute little baby brother. I wish  I could turn back time and wake up to YOU, Gene & Ginger all asleep in my bed with me.                                                                              If I had one more moment with you.... I would tell you how much your loved and how you made this world a better place by being in it and how much you will be missed. Until we meet again baby brother-~May the Angels Protect You and May You find Peace in Heaven       Love Always and Forever Your Big Sister Kelly

My brother Dennis...🌹

Dennis LOVED his family, his friends, God, music, art and animals, especially dogs!!! He was an amazing artist and guitar player.  He loved fishing, especially with our Dad.  

He was always grateful, loving, honest, funny, had a great memory and lived in the moment.   

Dennis has been trying to teach me to stop and smell the roses our whole adult life....I’m so grateful and thankful that he did.  🌹

He gave me so much unconditional love.  I always felt his love no matter where we were in life.  Together we made mud pies, road big wheels, swung on swings, walked to school, raced bikes, went sled riding, went to his favorite band’s concert, worked together at our first jobs,  hung out, sang out loud, watched movies, told stories, made fun of each-other and laughed! 

Dennis loved my cooking.  No matter what I made he would tell me it was delicious and the best!  He especially loved when I made green bean casserole or pasta.  When we were kids he would tell people that we were Italian because he loved pasta.  That still cracks me up.  

Every-time we would see each other he would tell me “you made my day”, with a warm loving smile and I would say it back.   I pray that he knows how much I love him and that I feel so lucky, proud and blessed to have him in my life.  He will always live in my heart ❤️ 



We the Staff of Kraeer Funeral Home would like to extend our most deepest and heartfelt condolences on the passing of your loved one.  “Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal but love leaves memories that no one can steal.”
