Dear Nancy and family,
Dennis was one of the good guys, who will be missed by all who knew him. Not only a great artist , a very funny person, had a very distinctive ,infectious laugh you couldn't forget. He was very fun to be around, a most adventurous person, along with Nancy. We will miss our conversations we've had over the years and our visits to Colorado. You will be missed friend.
