Thank you everyone who signed this guest book, coming to my Fathers wake, funeral, sending a card, sending flowers or a plant, a donation or even a phone call. Anything to comfort me and my family is so much appreciated. My father was a genuine man, a great and loving father and grandfather. We all miss him so much. There is not a day that goes by we do not think about him and his beautiful blue eyes his laugh and his big smile. He is with us in our hearts and thoughts always. Someone sent a card with a saying that I would like to share...."When a father leaves so many happy yesterdays, his love will last through all of your tomorrows'. May it bring you comfort to know that nothing can diminish the wonderful ways your father touched your life.... The love and memories you shared will remain with you forever. Denny, Linda and I thought that saying was so comforting. We miss him so much. He will live in our hearts and our children's hearts forever. Love and God Bless You.

I'm sorry for your loss; but am so happy that I was able to see Dennis a week prior to catch up and chat like the "old" days. If I had a dollar for every act of kindness he showed me and everyone around him..I'd be a rich man
