So sorry to hear of this my sympathy to this family.
Mr. Dennis helped me through many household repair needs and always with patience and kindness when kindness was what I needed most. He obviously instilled that in his family as well. It has been a privilege to know him.🙏
Dennis was my go-to man. When I couldn’t figure something out, he could every time. He will be sorely missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Dennis was such a sweet soul and willing to help anyone. He will be missed.
We are praying for you, Cheri. We will miss Dennis.
Rest in Peace and paradise with Our Father God. You are greatly missed!
