From Marcus Cutler:
I will always remember Dennis with respect and appreciation. He was more than someone I knew through the produce business. He was a mentor, educator, family friend, and someone who made a lasting impact on me as I was growing up in this industry.
In February of 2007, I had the opportunity to spend an extended weekend with Dennis, Tina, and their family. I was welcomed into their home and their operation with open arms. I worked in the shed, weighed cartons, sewed burlap sacks, sorted spuds, and got to see firsthand how their family business operated. More than anything, I remember the hospitality. I did not feel like a visitor. I felt like family.
Dennis taught in the way the best produce people teach: by letting you watch, work, listen, and learn. He knew his product, understood his customers, and carried himself with the experience and instincts of someone who had spent a lifetime in the business. May his family be comforted, and may his memory be a blessing.
From Heidi Evams:
He was such a sweet guy. I only met him a few times at my work but really had an awesome spirit.
From Carol Shockey:
Dennis and Tina were a joy to be around and I am thankful for their friendship over the years. My heart goes out to the family during this difficult time. One of Tina's wishes she shared with me was that her children would stay close to each other and be there for each other. I think that's every parent's wish. Warmest regards to you all.

Mr. Dennis you will be missed Sir, you were one of a kind, kind hearted and fun. Hope you are in a better place reunited with loved ones looking down on us. Wish you stuck around a bit longer, your absence will be felt. Rest in peace.
From Thomas Mortensen:
A great memory: Back in the summer of '69 took a "road trip" with Dennis and Dave Smith in the D.W. Smith Cadillac down to Salt Lake. I remember listening on the AM radio to Marvin Gaye "Too Busy Thinkin About My Baby" on that trip. Dropped in to see our friend Brent Condie in SLC and then on to the the Salt Flats. Seemed like an unlikely trio at the time. Sorry to see you go, old friend.
From Armand Eckert :
What a wonderful person and friend he was. He was admired by all near and far. He lived life to its fullest and to know him was to love him. He will be missed by all that knew him.
From Ann Garred:
I have many happy memories from my stay with Dennis and Tina and their kids in 1988, and their generous hospitality. I was fortunate enough to be able to share in their Thanksgiving and Christmas light preparations in the snow. A unique experience for two young Australians from Queensland. Dennis always showed such warmth and was a joy to be around. Our time was full of laughter. We were so happy to get the chance to catch up again and show him around his Mum's hometown when they visited Australia. And my mother loved meeting him, as she had been close to Betty growing up. Our hearts are hollow in knowing we will not get the chance for one more catch up. Rest in peace, Dennis.
