Still think of you my good friend ! miss our talks and just being friends ! if only I could go back in time and tell you how much our friendship meant to me ....love you my brother till we meet again !!! John

So sorry to hear about Dennis these years later; only found out last night.  Dennis was a great and loyal friend, coach and man.   His laugh and stories kept us going during long days coaching the Fair Lawn kids in gyms all over New Jersey.

God bless him.  May he rest in peace.  

His friend until we meet again.

I miss Dennis every day. Lost a brother 2 years ago. So many memories that are best not shared ! Hope you all are well and enjoying life. Z

For me Dennis is not gone.  He will forever be in my heart and memories.  
There are so many little things to hold dear like "Saheeb Peeko Day Taboo, and and in 1972 his brand new 1964 VW.  Along with so many big things like Fla. Montana and Las Vegas.  Of course the biggest  is Lil.

Dennis and I were roommates for three years at Monmouth and friends for a lifetime.  I do miss not being able to call him on the phone and pick up where we left off.

Dennis went to MU together and were in Phi Delta Sigma fraternity… I got to know him over the years but when Bill Green and myself became partners in a beach side eatery a true friendship developed.  Then after college our lives moved on…. But we we’re always tied together via the fraternity…,
My heartfelt condolences

I consider Dennis my brother. Known him since 1960. Shared many good and bad times together. He could be a PIA but I love him and miss him. RIP my brother and friend. Ron Ulinsky (Z)

Thinking of you on the anniversary of your passing.  Think of you often.  We share special memories from time to time about Fair Lawn and Emporia and they bring a smile to our faces.

Thinking of you today and the wonderful visit I had with you in Montana.  That was the last time I saw you, but you will always be in all of our hearts.

What a wnderful guy. He will be remembered always as a gentleman even in his younger days.

Dennis was a special friend.  He will be missed.  Dennis and I shared a special time in Kansas going to Emporia College.  Have a special picture of him and me (he is in his uniform) standing outside his apartment.  Always enjoyed a visit with him and Lillian when he came back to New Jersey.  Wishing him peace with loved ones who have passed before him.  Another great loss in the Class of '63.

Dennis and I went to Monmouth College and were fraternity brothers building a relationship.  During the summer we got involved in a food business on the beach of North Long Branch. At that time I got to know Dennis better... We talked several months ago planning to meet when I returned  to NV.  I’ll miss that opportunity but will always remember our experiences together.

Dennis, you will be greatly missed by your family and many friends. We were blessed to have had you in our lives. You made us smile and laugh, you were there to listen and help when it was needed.  I have fond memories of spending time with you and Lillian at your home in Seeley Lake, Montana. We went on a beautiful hike up into the mountain to Morrell Falls. We were in God’s country which is where you are now, but in all it’s glory.  

My heart goes out to Lillian, your brother, family and friends for their tremendous loss.

Dennis is my older brother he was 7 years older.  In my years growing up he was my idol and I wanted to be just like him. My children and grandchildren loved their uncle Dennis. I have many memories/stories of growing up and getting  older with him. We all will miss him.
My heart hearts.

What wonderful ride we have had all these years, thinking it would never end; swimming in your pool; loud music; your mom yelling at us and your Dad shaking his head ...Just  growing up in Fair Lawn with our friends from TJ and FL high school they were the best of times. You were truly my good friend and a brother......will meet again on the other side .....

  Our journey started out at TJ in FL.  My closest friend for many years through high school, Monmouth the Army Reserves even work our lives were running parallel. Great memories that I will cherish and not forget, good and bad. The parties Friday night at your house , dating , the time we were running down the hall at TJ, and you put your leg through the glass and wire door. 
Rest In Peace my brother, love ya ❤️

Dennis and I grew up in FL but I did not get to know him until we met at Monmouth college.  We were room mates and fraternity brothers while at Monmouth and we served in the same reserve army unit together.  
Dennis was known to my children as Uncle Denti and my entire family loves him.  He will be missed but not forgotten.

Dennis, 
So sorry that time has pulled us apart over the years. But  this was the beauty of growing up in FL. We all come together when needed.  Thank you for being Dennis. See ya brother. 

Dennis and I went to school in Kansas and Monmouth together  We pledged with each other. Dennis and spent much time together. We had incredible times together laughed till we could not breath
He will be missed

Dennis,
You have always been a big part of my life and i will cherish my memories of you. Our phone calls, my time in Vegas with you and Lill and most of all our friendship. I am not going to say goodbye but I will end with what I always tell you when we get off the phone “love you”.

A fraternity brother at MU. Always with a smile. Very sad news. Please accept our thoughts snd prayers. Paul

My condolences to the family Dennis was a dear old friend that I’ve known for a very long time I can’t tell you what pleasant memories I have of us being together and all the crazy times may he rest in peace until we see each other again

Dennis will always be my friend. Thank you for all the memories and fun times we’ve had throughout this journey called life. Love and prayers to all family and  friends. T

I was a fraternity brother of Dennis and always had fun when he was around. I spent time with him renting my brothers fraternity house out to Dennis an a number of guys. He kept the place safe and in one piece. Sorry for your loss. 

Dennis,
While loosing touch does not mean loosing the memories of youth shared. I will always remember the respect given and taken, the joy
shared and the experience of growing up together. Thank you for being instrumental during our lifetime, spent in each others friendship. May you rest in peace till we meet again.
Arthur Bergman

Dennis has been my friend for 60 years. We enjoyed many good times together. My sincere condolence to the family of my life long friend. Rest in peace. See you on the other side brother. Z
