As the tears fade away I am filled with the memories of your laughter, your humor, the twinkle in your eye as you gave me the business. I will remember the love you have for your family & the special place you held my father in your heart. You set a high standard for everyone to look up to. I'm sure you were just practicing your every day living placing value on people & not things. I love you. Thank you for the times we shared.

Dennis was a great guy who will truly be missed. He was fun loving and outgoing, and always willing to help out or assist in anyway he could. Glenda and I always looked forward to visiting or spending time with him.  We have lost a great uncle and a true friend.

What a way to say good-bye, one last look as a tear slides by.
He would want us to laugh remember good times 
Do not dwell, on anything sad. Remember he was a wonderful husband, a Grandfather and a Dad. He loved to camp, to smile to laugh, to joke around. Dennis will be dearly missed, but knowing him I know in my heart he will be looking down and watching Connie and all the kids.
Love and Miss him already, even though I did not see him often I took advantage of the fact that we all thought he would always be there. Life is just to short so live each day as if it is your last and make sure to let those you love know that you love them. My Dad taught me that when I was young and I will continue to share my love every day with those who touch my life. Dennis touched many people's lives so he will live on in all of us forever.
Love you all!!

Aunt Connie, DJ, Shelia, Sonyia and all of the wonderful people of this family,

I can hear Uncle Dennis's laughter, see his smile and value the big heart that he had. He was always giving and understanding when you felt the need to talk to him. He is now an angel above watching us. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love, Glenda (Ray) Mendez

Uncle Dennis,
I might not of always called but ...I would ask Dad how you were and the family were doing. I'll miss you dearly. You are my favorite uncle. I will always cherish the memories I have of you. One such memory is I could always get you going on a debate about foreign made cars, just to see how long it would last. LOL ;) May you always walk along side your family and guide them.

I love and miss you Uncle Denny,
Glenda

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Connie, and your family.

Your presence will be missed not only by your family but all your friends that camp with you at Sunset Cove.  Good Bye our friend, until we meet again.
