So very sad to read this. My sympathy to you and your family Craig. And also to JustRalph who I know was very close to Dennis.

I will always have fond memories of getting to know your dad offline a bit, at the PA Toga Parties at the Spa through the years. He was a good guy and was so very proud of his kids.

He was often times misunderstood by his critics here in off-topic, but that's par for the course I guess.

Dennis will be greatly missed. Rest in peace.

From happier days:

Thanks to everyone for all the thoughts and prayers. We're ok, we've been prepared for this for a while.
My condolences to you and your family.

I admire you for making this post. I doubt I could have. Again, I'm very sorry to read this.

You can hear him cheering home his pick 3 in this vid from the above thread.

I'm so sad to hear of this. May God bless his soul and peace be with him and his family.

His beaming pride in his kids and family shined thru at every moment possible here. In that light, he led a great life. It can be said without a doubt that the world is a better place because of him.

One takeaway.... he was always beaming with pride when it came to cj, and he never missed an opportunity to express how proud he was of you. You gave him the best gift a son can give his father.

My thoughts are with the family in this difficult time.
You can't say it any better than this. Sorry, CJ.

All those pictures made me both smile and cry, the latter being something I've rarely done in my life. Not trying be the macho guy, just never been a natural thing for me. Thanks all, I think.
