Dennis was a lovely human being that loved life as well as others. He had a smile and a kind word for everyone that he met. He will be missed.
Condolences
I am so sorry to hear about Dennis. He touched a lot of lives, not many can say that. I was so happy when he started writing for the newspaper, he was very good at it. He had a warm heart and a way of looking at certain things that was very entertaining. I remember when we worked at Khols and he wasn't supposed to be in my department. A manager was coming and for all his size he sunk behind that rack like he wasn't even there, but he did it in such a humorous way, I still smile thinking about it. Many blessings to his sister and his family.
Rest in Pease
Have known Dennis since Kindergarten at Craig Ridgeway in Ms Jacoby's class. He was always a good friend. He will be missed.
Rest In Peace My Dear Friend
I have known Dennis since elementary school. Over the past few years we were reunited. We've had many long talks and he helped me with some rough times I had. I will miss his out of the blue text seeing how I was doing or just say have a nice day sweetie. He really was a truly good person with a huge heart. I will truly miss you my friend. My prayers are with his family and friends.

My friend. I have taken your passing very,very hard. As you were fond of saying. "I was your brother from another mother." Of course I had heard the phrase before,but with us,it rang so true. We shared more than our date of birth, we shared a kinship that I cherished,and will cherish forever. My thoughts an prayers for your family. I love you brother,my heart aches at your passing.

I Can't believe your gone.He will be missed. My memory of Dennis is when i worked at the hair cuttery, and he shaved his head for the cause of a little boy that lost his hair from cancer. It was a wonderful moment. God give peace to his family, and, comfort.

RIP Dennis
I worked with Dennis years ago he had this ability to make you laugh out loud at any given moment. Sometimes he would burst out into a song with his booming voice and loved to talk about music, movies and recipes which made the work day much brighter. Prayers to his sister and nieces and to the wrestling community that I'm sure he was honored to be part of.
May God Hold Him Close To His Heart
My deepest condolences to his family. I went to school with him and he was a kind and loving person back then and from what others have said that did not change thru his life. You are in my thoughts and prayers. WIth Deepest Sympathy - Dave

So sad to hear this news
I worked with Dennis as a journalist at the Phoenixville Phoenix. We had many good times in "reporter row". I'm truly shocked and saddened to hear this news. He was a big goof and an all around great guy. And I'll never forget how much he loved his coupons. Peace and love Dennis
