I have been friends with Dennis for over 55 years. He was a great guy and I miss him dearly. I remember the wild times we had as teenagers especially on our birthdays which were 2 days apart. We lost touch with each other for periods of time but always got back together. We spent a lot of time together in OC and would enjoy the weekends together. We went on a cruise together and knew each other well. When Beth came into his life he became a different person. Relaxed, happy and in a good place, they made a great couple. I love you my brother.
