To the family of Dennis.
Im sure that much joy was shared by all for the 23 years that you spent together, He will be sorely missed by all who knew Denny. A great guy and good pilot, he has always been considered a good friend and I still tell stories of experiences that he and I shared, most of which brought a laugh and smile to others. He did well in life and brought pride to his family and friends. Semper Fi, Den Love to you and yours

HE WILL ALWAYS BE MY HEART. I WILL MISS HIS LAUGH AND SENSE OF HUMOR. I FELL BLESSED THAT I HAD SOMEONE LIKE DENNIS AS A FRIEND HE WAS A WONDERFUL PERSON. MY BLESSING TO GAIL & CLAIRE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY THOUGHTS.
I got to know Dennis when he was a Realtor. He was always nice and kind.
So sorry to hear my good Friend & Neighbor , Fellow Night had passed. I know personally He is with His Maker.
I Loved him like a Brother.
I will Surely Miss Him.
Gail and family...I was a second cousin to Dennis (my mom Gen "Daughtie" Boyle Walsh was Jerry Sr.'s first cousin), and was directed to this site by my sister Madeleine. The Duffys I knew well were Dennis's parents and brother Tim. I knew I had a war hero cousin who I also understand from siblings and other Elizabeth people was also a generous, humorous, and solid guy. Sorry I never got to know him. But I do extend best wishes to all of you on the loss of a human being that made such a positive contribution to all and all of you. Mike Walsh
My deepest regrets and best memories of Dennis are sent to you in my prayers.
I worked at PHI EMS in New Orleans with Dennis before he became manager at Fourchon.
Dennis was a very memorable person to anyone who worked with him. I always enjoyed being in a conversation with him or just listening. He made me smile as it was usually his demeanor.
I have no doubts you will see him again.
God Bless you,
Rocky

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
Dear Gail and children, My sincerest condolences to you all during this trying time. I'm very sorry that I was unable to attend his funeral. I got the phone call about Dennis' passing from Jim Haynie, a fellow Marine, earlier this week. I served with Dennis in Det A, 4th MAW. I shall always remember his wit and kindness. Please remember that your separation from him is temporary -families will be reunited in the hereafter! Sincerely, Carol Medeiros Col USMCR (Ret) 3207 Laurel Dr. Gulf Breeze, FL 32563 (I'm not sure you remember me, but another WM officer (Karen Lundblad) and I visited your home when Claire was just a tyke.)
