Go Green, Go White!!! Michigan State was also always a big part of Dennis’ Life.

I first met Dennis in 1981, when I took over for Dennis’ position as the Production Manager for POP Entertainment, the on-campus rock concert promoter at MSU. A collage student’s dream job, where you were in charge of the tickets and performers day of the show. Many lifelong friendships were developed from those years working for Pop Entertainment.

September 2015, I came out for a MSU vs Oregon Ducks football game. Dennis rented a van to fit us all and talked Natalie into being our designated driver. Dennis was always a gracious and generous host and knew how to throw a fun party.

I now live in Vancouver WA. In 2018, we reciprocated, coordinating a road trip with Dennis, John Itsell, Al, and Evan Vine to watch the MSU vs the U of Oregon Ducks football game.

September 2021 included another MSU vs Ducks football game and an outdoor concert with Natalie, Brian, and Ryan.

These are just some favorite highlights, as there were many others. I was blessed to have Dennis in my life. He always made sure everyone was enjoying life as much as he was, which was both inspiring and infectious. He was a close friend and will be greatly missed. Rest in peace. Tom Culligan

Dennis was a caring people person. He will be missed. 

I would like to make contact with Dennis brother, Steve.  If someone could help it would be appreciated. We were best friends in high school.

Natalie and Ryan, I was sorry to hear of your father‘s passing. I had the opportunity to speak to him several times when walking in the neighborhood and his view of life and his illness was inspirational. He has always been a positive person. 

My memories involve his love for you both. Soccer games,  birthday parties, the pool in the backyard and especially the snow luge he built with you in the backyard.

I offer you our sympathy. The Robert family cherishes the memory of your dad and wishes you peace and comfort at this time. Stop by our house and see us any time.
