I am sad to say that I did not know your Dad very well. When I would come to family gatherings, he was always nice when we did speak. But one thing for sure,he was always there as a Dad and Grandpa for you girls. You were his priority. Let's hope that fond memories of your Dad will help you cope with the grief you are feeling right now. Dennis will be greatly missed by so many. My most sincere sympathies to you, Ann Marie, Kim, and Kristie, and to the rest of the Knutson family. Dennis Rest In Peace.
