Dennis never met a stranger. Always had a smile and a warm happy greeting for all. Such a huge heart for a little guy. 100% Kind!! He will truly be missed. Memories of him on his blue tractor will never fade. Rest In Peace.

We r sorry for your loss. Short story: when my grandson was 13 yrs old – he heard so much about Dennis that he wanted to meet him. Dominic goes to another parish. So one afternoon he went with us to Good Shpherd and lo and behold Dennis did too. I took Dom up to Dennis and said this is a fan of yours. That was truly a glorious moment for the both of them. Prayers r with you and your family n with Dennis.
