Dennis was a great guy & friend; he will be missed. Condolences & hugs to his family.
While we won’t be able to be there, we will be there in spirit.
Dennis and I were colleagues at the CDC, as well as at Road Atlanta. We always had something to talk about, work, cars, hockey, etc. I’ll miss his dry sense of humor. My condolences to Beth, Carrie, and the rest of Dennis’ family. Rest In Peace, my friend. PAX
Will miss Dennis, great guy to know and work with.
Always made me laugh.
Time to work some corners at the big track in heaven.
R.I.P. my friend.
I will miss traveling and volunteering at race tracks with Dennis. We shared a small town childhood in Pennsylvania, auto racing and traveling interests.
Condolences to Beth, Carrie and the rest of his family. He is greatly missed.
