I dated Dennis in 1999-2000; we brought in the millennium and then reconnected many years later; I miss him. He was my first true romance š„° and great kisser.Ā

I miss knowing heās out there to call or visit. He was always my sanity check, sounding board, and unflinching mirror. I remember only a few years ago confiding in him as to how lost and small I felt in college at NDSU. He looked at me, shocked, and said āYou were so intimidating! I was so envious of how you held yourself. I could only hope to be that confident.āĀ
And with those three lines, he blew up forty years of self image. I need more friends like Dennis.Ā
Big love to you all!

Thank you, Mary.Ā
Terry, I think about Dennis and your family so often. There are so many moments in my life when I think, Oh, I need to tell Dennis about this! Or, Dennis would think this is hilarious. I miss my friend and great companion so much.Ā
I send you all love.Ā

When we were kids, Dennis' birthday reminded us that Christmas was right around the corner. December 16 was our deadline for decorating the tree and making sure that the cards were in the mail. I still use that date to gauge my Christmas prep progress. I still can't believe that he's gone

I have been thinking about DennisĀ a lot this week. The hardest thing I've ever had to do was to say goodbye to him one year ago today. The second hardest thing was having to tell his friends and co-workers what happened. He cared so much for all of you!

Thinking of you Dennis, reflecting on all of the fun outings we had on New Year's Eve (to include your dapper tuxedo)

I had the pleasure of meeting Dennis on multiple occasions while working at PBS. He was a delight to be around, with a warm and friendly personality. Stacee and I will truly miss him. RIP Dennis.

I'm sorry to have missed Dennis's memorial service this weekend. He has been in our family's life for 20 years - from the very beginning of my marriage, through the birth of our 2 kids, and at the start of my career.Ā I believe those we love and have lost come to us in dreams. A few weeks ago, Dennis was in my dream. We were dancing, which we hadn't done since 2003 at the K Street wrap party. We were laughing and having a blast. I will always remember the good times and the many laughs we shared. We miss you and love you dearly.Ā

While this still feels unreal, the giant depletion of laughter in my life is proof of its truth. I will forever miss the steady dependable friend I had in Dennis, but I'm grateful for the 25+ years of wisdom and joy he gifted me. Thank you magical friend, you illuminated this world like no other. Kind thoughts to your family and countless friends who feel the same way.

This is one of a million favorite memories with Dennis. This was from his birthday in 2021. He and I went to Bucca di Beppo for dinner, each for the first time, because he received a coupon in the mail. What we didnāt realize was that Bucca di Beppo serves family-style meals. So Dennis and I sat there, the restaurantās only patrons, with almost undrinkably-strong margaritas and baked ziti for five while Christmas music played loudly over the speakers. We absolutely could not stop laughing. We eventually abandoned our mountain of ziti and went ice skating at the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden Ice Rink. It began comical and ended up really beautiful, and was a night that we laughed about and reminisced over for the rest of his years. Dennis loved an awkward, funny moment that only the two of you could understand and share. We shared countless absurd, special and hilarious memories like this in the years that I knew him. Iām grateful for every single one and cherish those memories most ardently.
