Dear Margie and Family,
My deepest sympathies go out to you and Dennis' entire family. We'll all miss him greatly.
I'm sorry I couldn't be there. I missed out on a lot of good times being in Houston. I'll never forget all the good times...the King of Hercules passing right by our home (when Karen and I lived in UNO's married dorms), all the NYE Parties, like the one where Dennis got hit in the chest with the bottle rocket (war), or the one at your house in Chalmette with the potato gun, the 2-liter fireworks, and that roll of black cats that seemed to go the whole length of the neutral ground.
I could never forget what he endured (what I know of) when he went through his colon surgery and his heart attack/blockage that was 20 inches long (right?)! He was a walking miracle everyday after that!!!
Dennis has always been a positive and happy person, despite what he had been through in his life. If he ever had any negative feelings for what he had been through in his life, I never heard them. I'm not sure my faith is strong enough to endure what he has been through in his life. If he could go through all he had to endure in his life, and be the great guy he was, what do I have in my life that is worth complaining about. He was an inspiration to me.
My love to all Dennis' friends and family.

Our condolences
Dear Margie and Dennis, Jr., Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Dennis is a great loss to all who knew him. He always had a smile or a kind word; even through the battle he faced. We will truly miss his presence at NFC, and we will always treasure the memories of him. God bless you both in the days to come.
Margie,
Carl and I are so sorry for your loss. Dennis will be dearly missed not only by you and your son and family but by everyone whose lives he touched. When we first moved on Corinne, Kevin was only a young man of 19, but Dennis was one of the guys who took Kevin under his wings and help to guide him into manhood. Please know that Dennis helped Kevin develop into the man he is today, and Carl & I are very grateful for that.
Carl, Kevin and I will keep you in our prayers.
I'll miss you my friend.
Marjorie & Dennis, Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences to you two at this very tough time. I know you have very deep grief over this loss, just know that Dennis will be watching over you two for the rest of your lives and he is in God's kingdom now.
May God bless you,
Artie Johnston
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Dennis.
I went to elementary school with him, and lived right around the corner from him. It has been many years since I have seen Dennis or Glenn and Lisa. I am from his old neighborhood, Gentilly Woods.
I also lived in St. Bernard for 15 years before the storm ran me off. I did not even know that Dennis lived there all of those years too. I am sorry I didn't get to see him in all of those years and so sorry that he has passed away.
My heart and prayers go out to the whole family.

Our deepest sympathies are with your family. The Craig Family JFK Class of 1974
John and I share our condolences and memories. We both know that Dennis truly enjoyed life, his gadgets, making all sorts of things; like his Mr Bingle, furniture, creating music CD's, playing computer games etc. We will also miss how competitive he was in bowling, playing volleyball at Corp picnics and 4th of July. We will all miss him and will keep you and lil Dennis in our prayers.
