2024, Brentwood Bowlero bowing alley

I was a pleasure being on his two man bowling team the last summer he brought so much to the sport he dearly loved and enjoyed. No matter how I was bowling he always had something positive to say about my game encouragement and laughter he was a great positive influence to all around him. He will be missed.

Dennis had a large presence in our community and we will miss him a lot. When I think of Dennis, my thoughts are of MJ, the fun karaoke parties, his smile and friendliness. Mary Jo, we are here for you if you need anything or even just a shoulder to cry on.

Dennis you are truly missed. Joe and I have known Dennis and MJ since we moved here 9 years ago. Trilogy just isn’t the same without him; he was truly a big icon. Joe had his own experience with singing at Karaoke and bowling and I’m sure has his own words to say. I got to know Dennis a little more when I was coordinating the WOW fashion shows along with my friend Kathy. I knew I wanted him to do our music but thought he was so busy that I wasn’t sure if he would do it. But when I asked him he didn’t hesitate and said yes! And then when I asked him if he would sing a song to open the show again he said yes and If you know Dennis he loved to perform and didn’t hesitate to say yes. The ladies loved him and he always opened the show with a bang and just the right song. He was always there to help with all the many different events that needed music. MJ I’m so sorry for you loss and know that if you need anything Joe and I are here to help.

Dennis and MJ have been our friends since we met at a house party here in Trilogy about nine years ago. We traveled to Hawaii together in 2023.. did a lot of walking, pickleball and eating macadamia pancakes. Dennis was a good friend. Dennis‘s first karaoke night at Trilogy had about 9 attendees. He somehow talked Brian and I into singing. We are grateful to have had him as a friend.

Marti and Brian Goldufsky ❤️

Our story involves hiking the Cotswolds with Dennis and MJ, a trip of many memories; on the last day, we left a remote farm; Dennis was leading us, tech gadgets held high; we strode through long grass up to our hips (No, not quite the marked route! What would we need that for!) and wound our way across gorgeous countryside of rolling hills and stream filled valleys; by afternoon, we walked into the Queen’s city of Bath, past a half moon of Victorian houses and their adjacent gardens! The sun was shining and musicians heralded our way into the historic centre of town! Thanks, Dennis❤️❤️❤️

We are so sorry for your loss. We were just getting to know him, met him at the neighborhood party in October. We are so glad we got to see him perform a couple of times. He certainly knew how to spread joy!
