Betty you have our sincere sympathy on the passing of Dennis
cherish your memories
and May his soul rest in Peace
So sorry for your loss and for those of us classmates/friends feel some of your pain. I have great memories and good times with Dennis. When I had my 65 Corvette he was driving west of town on 36 and wanted to see how fast we could go! He handled the 4 speed like a pro and yes we were flying, loved the smile on his face, a fellow Vette owner and lover❤️ See ya on the other side..Aloha, Judi
Betty you are in our thoughts and prayers
Betty I’m so sorry to hear of Dennis’s passing.
He was a soft spoken laidback guy who’s company I enjoyed.
You and Dennis where both loyal patrons when I was running Fleetwoods.
Dennis would always stop in for a few after work beers and then he would order a pizza, from Freddy’s, to take home for his dinner.
I always order his “Gleason Special with Sauerkraut” every time I’m in Seneca.
He will not be forgotten.
Rest In Peace Dennis
