Condolence: We just learned of Dennis's passing. Uncle Dennis (as I called him my whole life) will be greatly missed. He was a dear college buddy of my father and we spent many times on the beach with him searching for the big dipper and ghost crabs. He holds a special place in my heart. I will miss the yearly Christmas card with Santa on the beach, the salt water taffy he sent every year, and seeing his smiling face each year in OC at First Night. xoxo

Condolence: I was very sorry to hear of Denny’s sudden passing. I offer my sincere condolences to his family at this sad time. I spent many enjoyable summers sharing shore houses with Denny in Avalon and Strathmere. I’ll always remember Denny as upbeat, smiling and enjoying life to the fullest! He was a true Renaissance man!

Rest in peace, my friend.

Condolence: My deepest condolences to Dennis' family. He spoke of all of you often and loved to brag about his nieces' soccer skills!!!

He was a dear friend and housemate of mine in Avalon for so many years, and we shared many great times and memories.

Dennis, rest in peace- the shore will never be the same without you.

Condolence: We just found out this morning and are so sorry we didn't know so we could have paid our final farewell to an old and valued friend. We spent many enjoyable days with Denny (as we knew him) lounging on the beach in Avalon -- and Strathmere! -- and many fun evenings at various watering holes around the area. He was an interesting guy who we always were glad to see. We'll miss his beach-themed Christmas cards and his smiling face. Goodbye, old friend.

Condolence: I'll remember Dennis as a man of versatility and pride who could personally perform home improvements, grow a flourishing garden, prepare a delicious meal, constantly attempt to improve in golf, read volumes while chillin'at the beach, find wonder in the stars and space travel, treat a woman like a lady always greeting her with a bouquet of flowers, discuss politics with rational insight, volunteer his service to the community, recite poetry and rock to a wide range of music.
His deepest love was for Gianna and Marissa, great-nieces whom he adored. He cherished all his family and had a close relationship with them all, but those two beautiful girls stole his heart. Perhaps his heart simply burst with love.
The void left by his passing will be mightily felt by many.
Rest in peace, Denn.

Condolence: I'm truly saddened to learn of Dennis' passing. I had to pleasure of knowing him and working with him when I was an executive board member for the Buzby Homes Tenant Association and then when I was the Vice Chair for the ACHA Board of Commissioners. Dennis was a good man and person, he gave his best and always tried to do what was best for all. Sending my prayers to and for his family and friend.
