I am truly sorry to hear about Dennis passing. He was always a kind person and I hope to call him my friend. He will be missed. My he Rest In Peace
Dennis never forgot a customer and always greeted everyone by name. He always had time to share a story and a laugh and to make you feel like family. His sense of humor wry wit will be sorely missed. He is spinning yarns on the floor of that big HOG shop in the sky. Forever missed, never forgotten.
Best friend anyone could pray for. Loyalty, respect and friendship, I’m going to miss this guy.
