Sudy, was so sorry to hear about Dennis, he was a good friend and a great lawyer to usand for us. We will remember the many times we spent at the swim meets and the times we used him for a lawyer such as when the girls became Claar and when the boys changed their names to Claar. We will greatly miss his advice and his friendship..

Judy and Family. I am sorry to hear of your loss of Dennis. You are in my thoughts and prayers. He was a kind and very thoughtful man. He helped not only myself but other members of my family in a few legal matters with not only his legal expertise, but also with his caring and down to earth manner. We would see him at OLPH Mexican dinners during Lent and he always greeted us. When I mentioned that we went to grade school with Judy, Dennis treated me as a friend. I will think of him often.

Judy,
You and Dennis gave me the greatest gift of my lifetime, and I am forever grateful to the both of you. You both welcomed me with with no reservations, and your home became my home, your family became my family. I wish I had the chance to spend more time with Dennis, he cracked me up constantly, and it will be difficult not to hear him shout "You boys take care of each other" when we leave. I am so very sorry for your loss, and so very thankful to have been a part of his life.

Mom (Lorraine Dean) knew him from St.Annes, and had Dennis do some legal work for her. On her passing, Dennis was very kind and understanding as he helped me thru the legal process of Mom's affairs. May God comfort and guide Dennis's family and friends during their time of grief for him.
