Condolence from Karen Shupe on October 22nd, 2012 5:55 pm

Marylin, Tim, Denise and Laurel (and families): you all are in my thoughts at this sad time. Your family is another from my childhood, with memories of Dennis and dad doing the fishing and hunting thing. Someday ask mom about the salted makerel he found in our basement at home. I’ll never forget the story as dad told it! Take care.

It may have taken Dennis “the long way around” to tell a story or joke but it was always interesting. I hope he is “on the river” with hopes of getting the big one that got away. R.I.P. Dennis. Sincere sympathy to Marilyn, Tim & Becky, Laurel & Edwin and Denise & Doug and families, I will be thinking of you in the days ahead as you deal with your loss.

Condolence from Doug and Barb Wagner on October 23rd, 2012 9:42 pm

I was so sorry to hear of Dennis’ passing from Karen. Our condolences can’t ever make up for his loss, I know, but I just wanted you to know that he will always hold a warm spot in our hearts. You and Dennis have always felt like part of the family since the day we met you. Even if you know someone’s passing is coming nearer every day you are never ready when it does happen.

I had hoped to give you a hug in person next week but now I’ve had to cancel the trip out there because of a new job, so here is a virtual hug from both of us. ((Marilyn))

All our love, Barb and Doug
