You will be missed my friend..  You are with Sammy, again.
Rest in Peace

Our deepest sympathy to Sue and the Goralski family on the passing of Dennis. Dennis was taken too soon from us. He will always be with us. We never felt like customers, we were friends. Dennis is in good hands as we were in his. Rest In Peace Dennis. 

Sue, I was sad to hear that Dennis passed away. I was one of his first customers at the Shell station at River Road and Oakton. That was over 30 years ago; and had continued going to Denny G's ever since. More importantly, I though of Dennis as a friend.  My wife and I are sorry for your loss. We extend our sincere sympathy.

Bruce and Nancy Butler

Saddened to hear the news. Dennis was a tremendous guy, as noted by everyone who has posted previously. 

Wandered in for some help, with my beater of a first car, way back when he manned the corner Shell station @ River & Oakton. He immediately told me what was going on (and that I had not made a great decision buying that Oldsmobile), laughed and then took great care of me. Eventually my family started bringing their vehicles in, and even friends would drive 45 minutes just because they knew Dennis was going to do right by them.

You'll be missed, Dennis - God bless, and thoughts are with, your family.

Denny always made me laugh. Your car was busted, but it was going to be ok because Denny was a straight shooter. The car didn't matter anymore. He was going to take care of it and you were going to laugh about it. What a great man. I will miss him.

Dennis had a heart as big as the world.  I'll miss our talks about CFD. 

 Dennis-I will miss you  greatly.I have known you for 23 years since I first took in my car for help.You were always very helpful and knowledgeable.Thank you for everything.God bless you

It’s so hard to realize you’re no longer a part of our life but we’ll always remember your friendship, great chats across the desk and wonderful service and advise. RIP

Thanks for all you did for my family and I. It was a pleasure knowing you. 
Rest In Peace. 

We were shocked to hear the news of Denny’s passing.  He was a great mechanic and friend. Knew Denny from the shops at CFD. Also took our cars there for many years for service.  He will be sorely missed by all. May He Rest In Peace. 

Denny you were the friendliest and most generous of friends. May God embrace you with arms wide open. Frank and I will miss your big smile.  And we pray that Sue will be given the graces by you to continue without him. Love Frank and Judi Somogyi

To my best friend of over 51 years  before, during and after our stint with CFD and the years of servicing our Family’s  auto’s
Our Prayerys are with you   RIP. 🙏

Dennis was a dear friend for many years. He took care of our cars and always helped us out. We are so heartbroken to hear of his passing, he will be missed by many.

Denny G:  An honest ,hard working, fair minded guy!  I will miss the man who did so much for my family for many many years! I will miss the many stories shared throughout the years.  I will miss the laughs shared.  I .will miss the friendship shared for many years. God bless my friend  DENNY G!!

Thank's Denny and Sue S., for all the help over the year's. ThePolish Prince will be missed by all of his Chicago neighbors. We all know  there's a repair shop in a corner of Heaven. We also know Denny, Walt, and Billy Mac, are setting up shop, to repair wings and halos. Adios for now buddy, see you at the 'big one'.  T.K.

Denny was "One of the good guys!" He will be missed by so many. We always appreciated his knowledge, hard work and honest work as well as his sense of humor.  
Our love and prayers go out to Sue and all who were close to him.

A great guy who will be missed by many. It was pleasure to have known him  for the past 25 years. One of a kind.

Denny was one of a kind. I will miss him. He was one of my favorite customers to talk to.

Denny was one of a kind, the best at what he did. So many stories to tell. Sorry for your family's loss.

Denny was a pleasure to work with, demanded the best, but gave his right back.   They don't make 'em like him anymore.

Denny was one of a kind.  Just talked to him on the 23rd about the Covid vaccine and that one of the side affects was hair growth. Got a good laugh, he said he was going to sign up ASAP! Remember him changing out alternators in the street in the winter back in the CFD days. You will be missed big guy. God Bless you and Sue and your family. 

Denny was one of my favorite customers. I enjoyed speaking with him when he would call to order. He will be greatly missed. I am so sorry for your loss. 

Our deepest sympathy to the Goralski family. 
God rest your soul Denny.

Denny, you will be missed deeply by all who knew you. A man of honor and integrity. 
We just talked the other day and you seemed fine, busy, and grumpy......like you. 
You were always a friend. I'm glad to have known you. 


My family has been friends and customers of Denny for almost 20 years. He will be missed so much. It really broke my heart when I learned of this news today as I just spoke with him a few days ago. I spoke with him every time I went to the shop as I appreciated his honesty. I live almost 40 miles from the shop but insist on going there for vehicle repairs as he is the ONLY one I trust.
My prayers are with the family. 
RIP Denny.
Love you.
Ron

Dennis was a great guy.

 He was bigger than life itself.

He had “Spanner Hands”, the first time I met him and shook his hand, I thought I was shaking hands with a human wrench. 

He was  just one of a kind. 

I and my entire family will miss him dearly.

"Repair Shops to 7-4-4, Shops to 7-4-4"
