Kathy and family, our prayers are with you for comfort and peace in your great loss. Dennis was always a great conversationalist, we enjoyed any visit we had with him. He leaves a precious legacy in his children and grandchildren and years of service to his community.
Our sincerest condolences to the family, you are all in our thought prayers. So many fond memories of Dennis in so many varied gatherings and activities in the Schuler area. I always remember the family gatherings and getting together with all the cousins. Dennis had a natural way to put you at ease in any situation and could seemingly carry on a conversation on just about any topic. So sorry to hear of his passing.
