My deepest sympathies are with the Parello Family and all the staff at Beyond Events who loved him. I feel the pain as you, because Dennis was one of a kind. He was bigger than life and always had a smile. I just knew from when I first met Dennis that I could count on him and trust him. He had that type of personality. Words cannot describe what a loss this is for so many people....
Dennis was so giving, creative and such a genuine person it shined through.
He was meant to do bigger and better things and I am sure he is doing them.
I will miss you Dennis...thank you for touching my life....

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Dennis, we are so sorry for your loss. It is a huge loss for all of us that knew him, he was a very special person that made everyone smile. I met Dennis 16 years ago when he catered a party in the building I was working in. We became instant friends, and had so much fun together over the years. He had a heart of gold, and was so generous to everyone. He will be greatly missed. Somewhere in heaven there is a party going on....

Deepest condolences to the Parello family. Dennis and I attended St. David's together and our class of 1983 was very close. I have many fond childhood memories of Dennis. I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with your family.
