I met Dennis several years ago when getting some supplies. Whenever I go back on Thursdays in the future it will never be the same for me because Dennis was always warm and friendly and we would always carry a conversation that would leave me with a smile on my face even on a gloomy day. Dennis was truly a blessing and I will truly miss seeing him and visiting with him. Until we meet again. Continued prayers for his family and all of his friends.
Farewell Captain,
The race is run, and the fight is over and your crown of glory awaits you. Of all your earthly accomplishments, the one you had no control over seemed to one of your proudest, BOI, “Born On Island” a rare group of those native born on Galveston Island, by the Grace of God. To your family my sincere condolences. You will be missed by all who knew you.

I cannot express my sorrow and gratitude enough for the way Dennis touched my life!!!
Sorrow because I won’t get to see him on Thursday anymore or hear him call me kid. Gratitude because God allowed Dennis to be a part of my life in a very up close and personal way. I learned a lot from Dennis. A loving soul who sought to help others in their distress. There is now a place in my heart where, when I need it, I can go and have a remembrance of a funniness Dennis would impart. Dennis, I love you!!! And, I will say to you the last words you spoke to me; “Have Fun!!!” Julian
Oh my friend, what an incredible life you led and a lasting impact you made on more lives than any of us could ever know! Heaven has gained a man who epitomized the meaning of service, you will be greatly missed!
Carol – I am so sorry for your loss! Please know you are in my prayers – Love – Linda B.
