I have learned *two* things.
1. My brother Dennis is the only celebrity I have ever met.
2. My brother Dennis has the most unbelievable and loyal friends.

You have all made this easier to bear. I know Dennis is looking down and he is so proud that his friends have stood where he'd have wanted them to. I will never forget the comfort you brought to our family through this. My parents are not only proud that Dennis was a great son, but also that he kept GREAT friends. Your loyalty to my brother will comfort us always.
Dennis made it so easy, kelli, because he was the best friend I could ask for, I could only try to be as good a friend to him. Your right, he is looking down at all of us, and he knows he has the best family he could have dreamed of being born into, thats for sure. Its such a definite that all of us (family and friends) will make sure that dennis is fully remembered by his little girls, because in death as he was on this earth, Dennis will always be larger than life. God bless tommy
To the rich family, I can't began to tell you what kind of friend DENNIS was to me, there is not enough words to say and explain what kind of person he was to everyone not just me.I knew DENNIS over 30 years and it is true he was larger than life AND always will be!!!Your brother JIMMY told me 1 thing that will always,always stick with me... DENNIS & JIMMY thought of me as family, and this is a great compliment to me. I made a promise to your big brother when he got really sick and I swear I will never let him down.I MISS MY FRIEND I MISS GIVING HIM A BIG HUG AT THE END OF THE NIGHT,I JUST WANT TO GIVE HIM 1 MORE BIG HUG AND TELL HIM EVERYTHING WILL BE OK.1 MORE THING TO EVERYONE NEVER SAY GOOD-BYE ANYMORE WHEN YOU HANG UP THE PHONE,WHEN YOUR LEAVING TO GO HOME, OR JUST TALKING TO SOMEONE ON THE STREET.......D.RICH WILL NEVER BE FAR FROM OUR HEARTS........Freddy
I went on the blog today to look at all the wonderful pictures and beautiful memories from people that love Dennis. The more I looked at the pictures the more I cried. I love the pictures of Dennis when he was a little boy - how adorable was he?? Dennis always had a smile on his face even through this most difficult and trying time in his life. You never heard him complain he just wanted his life to be as normal as possible for his family and friends. He never put his feelings first he was always worried about the people he loved and didn't want them to hurt from this tragic and awful disease he had to live with day in and day out for over two years.
I still can't believe Dennis is gone!! He is one of the most genuine, funny, caring, beautiful and loving person I've ever known!! It still seems like a dream that we will all wake up from and when we open our eyes Dennis will be standing there. I love you and will always miss you Dennis!!
I can't believe almost a year later already!! It is so hard to believe! I noticed over the past month I've become a little sad, depressed have been crying, it will be a year for me sister October 19th. Two beautiful people are gone from my life. One thing that we all can say is we are all blessed to have this beautiful angel with his beautiful smile lighting up the sky!! I can't say enough how much we all miss you and love you!!
