To the Pagodas,
I well remember Dennis when I visited Kathi and Lauren in Irondequoit many years ago. Such a handsome dude! My prayers and thoughts are with you at a difficult time.
Nancy, I don’t know if you remember me, but I was looking for Dennis on Google and just found this. I’m so sad and sorry for your loss. Dennis and I worked together at Southern Signatures and I did work for him when he was at In Store Media. I had not spoken to Dennis since you moved back to Rochester and was shocked to come across this. I really enjoyed the time we worked together, we had a lot of laughs! I remember when you guys came to my 40th Birthday! The reason I was trying to find Dennis was to let him know that Neil Fernander ( his father used to own In Store Media) was killed in a car crash last night by a drunk driver. I guess they will see each other in heaven. Blessings to you and your family.
Nancy and Family,
Nancy…I’m not sure if I ever met you maybe once if you came into the office. I worked with Dennis at Southern Signatures in Atlanta and he actually sat across from my office. He was always so funny and had great stories. His daily routine when he walked into his office still makes me chuckle.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family. RIP Dennis
