For those of you who are unaware, my brother Dennis passed away last night peacefully. We are devastated and saddened. Although we felt that we were somehow prepared for this, it just doesn't seem to make a difference right now.

We are going to miss him more than any words I could ever write here.

The response to this blog has been amazing. There are so many people in this world that love and care for him and his family. If you know Dennis, you know he is an amazing father, husband, son, brother, and friend.

A piece of my heart and family is gone today. All I can do is look forward to a time when I can see my brother again.

I miss him already.

So sorry to hear of Dennis passing, he is at peace now. God has got himself a new angel and he will look down upon all of you.

God bless, and peace be with you.
