MANY years ago I lived upstairs from Lisa and Denny on Lake Ave. , I remember my siblings and I playing with Michelle and Jennifer. My condolences on your loss. May your memories bring you comfort.
I remember Dennis coming in for lunch where I worked years ago. He liked extra potato chips, and I always made sure he got them. Dennis was so kind to all of us, and funny too. He always brightened my day! I remember him as pleasant, fun and easy to talk to. He really did make everyone laugh and smile. Deepest condolences to all his friends and family. May he rest in peace.
