Condolence from Randy & Karen Stanlake on August 15th, 2016 7:42 PM

Kate and family,
It was such a shock for us to hear of your loss. It will leave such a hole in your life. You have to take the time to grieve, then cherish all the very best times, and hold all of those in your hearts. THAT is how Dennis will live on, in the greatest of times tucked away in your hearts.
Sending our very best prayers and hugs for strength through this difficult time.

Condolence from Gary and Judy Kyle on August 16th, 2016 10:31 AM

We are shocked and saddened by your loss. Remember the good times.

Condolence from Dennis & Joan Duncan on August 16th, 2016 12:12 PM

Kate, Krista, Joe & Family

Our thoughts and condolences are with you. We certainly had some great times together with Brown and those special memories will live on forever. Brown was a great friend, and Best Man at our wedding. Remembering him brings nothing but smiles and outright laughter whenever we look back on some of the things we did together over the years. Brown worked hard and played hard, he will be sadly missed by many, and especially ourselves. As Joe said when he called me: “Dad packed a lot of living into 65 years!” We are so glad we got to share a lot of the good times with him. We are positive Brown is already playing a game of cards with his Dad, Doc, my Dad, Baldy Hawkins and the others who have passed before him. Rest in peace Brown!

Condolence from Derek bierling on September 3rd, 2016 6:44 PM

Sorry I was out of town at work when I heard the horrible news. Will always have the memories of family and better days. I can’t help but shed a tear, and once the skates are on, there is only one MAD DOG. I’m sure you and Donny and grandpa are playing cards, with grandpa winning of course. Would love to have had a seat at the table, when the first hand was dealt. Skate hard mad dog, and I almost forgot… Emma.

Condolence from Bob & Doris Osgood on October 8th, 2016 9:18 AM

Kate & her family, to John & Robert, and his Mother Gladys,
We were sadden by the news of Dennis’ passing. He was more than just a warehouse supervisor which was always appreciated. He was a cousin that gives us a warm smile of his memory. May God give you the comfort and peace that you seek and only He can fill.
Hugs, Bob & Doris
