I have been getting some great emails from Dennis' many, many friends. They have shared both funny and touching memories with me. I know that I feel closer to Dennis when I hear these stories. I would love it if everyone could hear them as well.
Please feel free to leave your great memories or stories here, in the comments section below. You don't even have to leave your name. It's really simple and it would mean a lot to everyone out there who is reading.

It was Jimmy's and my junior year of high school, and we were in the gym during a basketball game wrestling(Jimmy was my quarterback and I was his offensive lineman). Anyway we are fooling around and all of the sudden I get pounced on from behind, I turn around and look and there is Dennis fists clenched and he says "you fight my brother you fight me" well me and Jimmy look at him like he is crazy and start laughing. Dennis apologizes about 100 times and for about a month or so we all call him "brother of the year". Dennis was the greatest and after reading Jimmy's post I will know think of him as brother or a lifetime. I am also sure he was every bit the father and husband that he was the brother. I am so sorry for your loss...Bill Tuttle
I know we all have a million funny stories about dennis, some not made for print lol - I have one recent one from our families trip to disney world in june 06.. We all went to the character breakfast, and the character Lilo from Lilo and stitch comes over to our table. Remember that we are with our 4 daughters who are each 4 and 6 at the time, and they are in awe of these characters, because they think these are the exact characters they see on the screen..Anyway, Dennis tells our girls to 'take a picture with the girl lilo, or at least I think its a girl in that costume' --well, dennis and I didnt even give a second thought to what he said, but jodi, my wife and our 4 daughters gave him a look, jodi and my wife were like 'what are you saying?', the kids were all over dennis 'dad,of course lilo is a girl!' and lilo harassed dennis over the next 45 minutes shaking a fist at him at every chance. You probably had to be there, but we were laughing about it for the whole trip, dennis just being harassed by a dressed up cartoon character, and the kids harassing him as well....
one of many great times with my friend that i'll cherish forever
