My deepest sympathies to Peggy and Family.  I had the great pleasure to work with Dennis at DG.  He was a remarkable individual and a good friend.  He will certainly be missed but never forgotten.

We are all better for having know him

Rick Donohue.

Dear Peggy and Family,

I was saddened to hear of Dennis' passing at the end of June.  I wish I had known sooner.

We worked together in the 80's, when I was the DG Branch Manager in Milwaukee.  Dennis was a wonderful guy and a great partner.  He played a key part in our success in the branch, and was always so upbeat and positive.  My heart goes out to you and your family.

I was gratified to see a couple of pictures of him in that race car at the Grand Prix in Austria.  We had such a great time there, a time I will remember always.

My world will be just a little darker knowing he is no longer with us.  But I will have my memories of him and the great times we had together.

Please accept my sincere condolences.

I worked beside Dennis for many years at DG.  He called every Christmas eve in thanks and respect for another business year together.  What a loss...my deepest sympathies to Peggy and son.

Peggy,

I am so sorry for your loss. Dennis called me in California just last week after I posted a humerous remark on his LinkedIn page. We spoke for over an hour, after not connecting over the phone for some time. I am so glad we were able to catch up, remembering old times working together, staying healthy going to the gym, golf, basketball and the start of his spring golf schedule with his buddies. In addition, and most importantly, he spoke of how he was blessed to have such a wonderful wife, who would put up with all his antics. He also spoke of how proud he was of his son, Darren, and his family, especially his grand daugher, Ellie. Dennis was a kind hearted, salt of the earth man, who cared about people and doing the right thing. He was a great role model to others.

He will be sorely missed.

We will keep you and your family in our prayers.

To Dennis' Loving Family,
We are saddened to learn of Dennis' passing.  Dennis will be dearly missed at the Club and by his many friends from the Greendale area.  We will treasure the memories and his love of family.

Dear Peggy and Family,
   Denny had a big heart, full of love and care for others.  Match that with his smile and zest for life--what a guy! Many good 'Denny'  memories for us in the CHS class of '60.
   May God's love, grace,and care sustain you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you....
   Burt and Darlene(Wuethrick) Olson

Our hearts are heavy with sympathy for you, Paggy, as well as Darren and all of your families.  May the memories of times shared keep him in your heart always.  Fondly, Jim and Denise Heling

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

Peggy and Darren:
I would like to extend my deepest sympathy during this very difficult time. The one thing I do remember about Dennis is his easy-going nature, great laughter and caring heart. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

So sorry to hear of your loss, Peggy.  He had such a good sense of humor, and that laugh.  My sincere sympathy to you and your family.

Condolences to the Zeitz family. Denny and I attended school from 1st grade through high school. Played a lot of playground sports on Sheboygan's Southside. If interested I have some photos from our grade school athletics and will copy and send. Provide address.

May the grace of the Lord bless Denny as he enters the Kingdom of Heaven. 
Lord, please give Peggy the strength to go forth and live her life as Denny would have wanted.
