Dennis Sagel Obituary

Dear Dad ~ It's been a year since you left us. It is hard to believe that it still hurts so much. So many times I wish I could pick up the phone and share some silly thing I heard...or ask your advice on something. You were always there for us. I miss you every single day. I pray that you are here with us in spirit, watching and sharing in our lives still. You were simply the best father in the world and you will never be forgotten. Much love always, your daughter, Denette

Dennis was a wonderful man with a heart of gold. I had the honor of calling him friend and cannot express in words how he will be missed or the void that he will leave in the lives of all me met. My deepest sympathy to the loving family he cherished.

Dennis played with me in the Southwest band and the Pops band this summer in Joliet. He will be missed by many .

It was my good fortune to know Dennis. I met him through the SWCCB many years ago and he became my friend. I also played with him in the Starlighters. He played a great tenor sax and an even better accordian. He was a wonderful person ... kind, gentle and sincere. I will miss him greatly.

God Bless.

My heart hurts for you; Dennis was a great guy! I got to know Dennis over the years thru Denette. I enjoyed our talks about Riverview and Chicago in general. Denette is a great friend and has so much love and kindness in her heart; that comes from Dennis doing such a great job as her Dad! He will be missed.

I had the privilege to know Dennis. He was a kind and generous person and I will miss him greatly.

I had the privilege playing the saxophone with Dennis in the SWCCB Band. What a kind and thoughtful person he was. He will be missed.

I sat next to Dennis in the Southwest Community Concert Band, and always had a great time playing. We would always joke around, and he constantly forgot his water bottle in the car. Dennis will definitely be missed. Words cannot describe what I'm thinking tonight. I know he's playing his sax up there.

Had the privilege of playing with Dennis in both the Southwest Community Band and when he subbed with the Starlighters from Worth. He was a good man, a great tenor player and will be missed.

Accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. Dennis will truly be missed but well remembered as a very genuine, thoughtful, caring man. God blesses him even more now. My prayers are with the family.

sorry of your loss.

Dennis was one of the most sincere men I have ever known. I had the privledge to watch him play his sax, spend holidays with him, and go on the many adventures that he always planned. His infectious smile will always be burnt in my heart. He was such a man of faith and I know he is in heaven in the arms of our Lord. Good bye my dear friend...

I will miss Dennis' great smile and company. From the first time I met Dennis I knew we would become good friends. I'm blessed that we crossed paths as we both started a new phase of our lives. My prayers are with his Mom, children and grandchilden.

Dennis was one of the nicest, most sincere person that I have ever had the honor and pleasure to know. He was always upbeat and had a smile on his face. He was a very conscience hard worker and a good example to all. He was very involved in the community and truly loved Orland Park. I will truly miss you Dennis.
My sympathy and prayers to Dennis' entire family.

I met Dennis through his work. I knew him briefly, but was struck by his dedication, and his easy going personality. He was a gentleman and professional. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Dennis was such a sweet, wonderful & thoughtful person. We had the best time when he came to Atlanta to visit going to the Aquarium, Coke Museum & Stone Mountain. He even made a rained out (well...flooded out...Braves game) lots of fun! We miss you!

I am so sorry to hear about Dennis. He was such a nice, calm, easy-going man. We shared lots of discussions and laughs. We always enjoyed the concerts he played for. He will definitely be missed. My deepest sympathy to all his family. Dennis and all of you are remembered in prayer.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

I will miss Dennis greatly, his smile could light up the day--especially when he was looking at a train. I am blessed that I was fortunate to have known him. My prayers are with his family.

I am thinking of you all during this time of loss.

Dennis,

You will be truly missed. You have been a faithful friend. Thank you for helping me when things were bleak in my life. I will NEVER forget you. May the angels welcome you with open arms.
