Janet, I went to high school with Dennis. Reading about his kindness and willingness to help others reminds me of the quiet, strong, good young man I knew over 50 years ago... I'm glad you found each other in England, and that your bond will continue as his loving spirit lives with you, children and grandchildren.

I worked with Dennis for many years at Amalgamated Sugar and played many games of Chess over the years, he was a good friend. I would get a kick out of him at Christmas because he would wear his hard-hat with dozens of Christmas lights... Thanks Dennis... †

Jan, so sorry to hear about Dennis. We worked together for so many years and he taught me so much. Not just about instrumentation but about love and friendship also.
