Dennis was a great friend in junior high and high school in Kalispell. He had an infectious chuckle and laugh and I cannot recall him ever saying a negative word about anyone. We were a close group in jr high and we all dressed alike (the photo is me, Kirk Streit and Dennis in 8th grade). Condolences to Dennis“ family and many close friends. A wonderful guy.
