As a former coworker, going through some old
memories, Decided to see if I could find my old friends from the Waterfront. I’m so sorry to hear of Dennis’s passing, may he rest in eternal peace, good friend, good cop, great memories.

Back in the Valley Stream days, Christmas was "enhanced" at Dennis's house with a Jamming band, lots of food, drink and parts of a bowling alley. He and I bowled together for several years, and when the Garden City Lanes refurbished some of it's alleys, he and I "rescued" one of the old alleys from a dumpster, one piece at a time, and it ended up in his hallway, complete with pins and a bowling ball.. -rip Den -Fred

Back when the world was younger, Dennis and I bowled together and lived in the same village. He was a Viet Vet, then a cop, and always a friend. I helped him "acquire" an old bowling alley, and set it up in his house, where every Christmas his band would jam, and Holly and I would attempt to eat him out of house and home. We stayed in touch until recently. Now I know why the messages stopped. Rest in peace, my turn will come..

Dennis was my first “partner” in law Enforcement. We graduated the academy together and hit the streets. 
He was a man of great courage and integrity, with a sense of humor second to none. A true patriot and lover of American culture.
May he Rest In Peace with the Lord watching over him and his family.
Good luck on this journey... may we meet again!!!!

Dennis, I have many fond memories of us.   RIP Big 'Kuda. 

Skip- you were a great mentor when I started at the Bronx DI Squad. I have so many great memories of hitting doors with you and the laughs in the squad room

From high school and beyond, we will always be friends.

I met Dennis many years ago when I joined the Centurion Cruisers Car club. He was one of the first members to warmly welcome me to the club. We spoke about his GTO.  I could tell he was a gentleman with a caring heart.
About eight years ago, just a week before moving to Florida, I was a  Lieutenant  in the department of public safety in Brookhaven. One afternoon while on patrol, I saw a 1967 Chevrolet military police car driving down the road. I knew it was Dennis so I pulled behind and turned on my lights and siren and pulled him over. I got out of the radio car and I approached his car. I could see he was a bit nervous, I said Dennis it’s me Gene, I’m just breaking your chops . We stood on the side of the road and laughed and talked for about 15 minutes. He thanked me for showing up in uniform when he hosted the veterans Thanksgiving dinners. We left each other with a smile and a handshake, and I never saw him again in person. Although We kept in touch through emails over the years. He will be missed. Eternal rest grant unto him oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.

R.I. P my brother Vietnam Veteran, it was an honor to know you and I am so sorry to hear of your passing. We were fellow members of Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 82, many, many moons ago but kept in touch on Facebook. I will miss you my brother.

R.I.P. Dennis. You will always be remembered as a silent man, but deep in thought. Thank you for serving our Country and helping and support other veterans.  

So devastated to hear of Dennis’s passing. He was a kind soul with a beautiful smile. We always loved hearing him perform with his band, Brooklyn Time Machine”.  We are  honored to have known him. 

Dennis,
I am so grateful that you were part of my life.  Playing music with you in The Brooklyn Time Machine was a great experience that I will never forget. We proved that older guys can still rock. I will miss you and will always remember the good times we had especially during our rehearsals and gigs.  Someday we will rock again so keep your guitar in tune. You are my band brother and friend and I will never forget you. Jimmy the Reed Man.

The world has lost one of the good guys.  RIP our dear friend. Hope you are playing your guitar up there with the guys from VVA.   Until we meet again...

Dennis, we met 12 years ago to get together and jam to the music we loved. You turned it into Brooklyn Time Machine. I had a blast, you helped make it the most fun times ever. You are my best friend, always willing to help anytime and anywhere. I will miss you more than anyone could know. Rest in Peace  Goatman,  until we meet again and jam once more, your band brother, Paul.
