Dennis, called a force of nature by many, and unforgettable by others, possessed a great life-force, energy and sense of humor that some may have thought possessed him from time to time. He was known by all for his intelligence, humor, cleverness, outspokenness, and genuine interest and care for the ‘human condition’. He will be gravely missed, although his writings shall all live on.

Ra nefers/Ra beautiful.
