I was saddened when I heard the news of Dennis's passing.  Cousin Dennis was very sweet to me as a child.  Dennis was about 14 years older than me but he never acted like I was a nuisance.   Although he did have me try to play his tuba. It was bigger than me and got a kick out of  it.  My condolences to Lynn and family. 

Linda and I were so sorry to hear of Dennis’ passing.Dennis will always be remembered as a very kind neighbor and friend with a great sense of humor and wit ..may he rest in peace .

Sincerely,

Peter and Linda Figueira 

I want to send my sincere deep condolences to dear Lynn, Michael and Ben. 

I was an exchange student in Laube family in 1999-2000 and remember Dennis for his kindness, support, funny jokes,wisdom, how he always took time to explain me the picularities  of American culture, history, to help me with homework, he was very generous and fair. Not even once for the whole year I felt that I’m a stranger at their family.  Of course, Lynn was the main  engine but Dennis was so supportive of her, he loved Lynn so much and it was very noticeable in everything he did. 

Dear Lynn, Dennis was a connection for us all these years, we kept in touch, I hope we will find ways to keep in touch after we lost Dennis. He was a great person and I just hope that you will stay strong.  I’ve read that Michael is expecting a baby, death and life are always so close. But there is a reason to keep going, enjoy your life and stay healthy and happy and I’m sure that what Dennis would want you to be. 

I will miss Dennis and Dennis’s yearly newsletters. 

Sending you my hugs 😔😢😭
