I met Dennis a few years ago when my wife was his caretaker, he was a very funny person, he always made everyone laugh and he had stories for days. He touched everyone lives that was around him. He may not physically be here anymore, but he is here in spirit smiling upon us. He is not in any more pain. He will be deeply missed by everyone. May god bless his family in this difficult time.
I am so sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. May the loving God of the Holy Bible give you comfort at this difficult time from Revelation 21:3,4.
Dennis was a down to earth nice guy. I always enjoyed seeing him and chatting for a few minutes. I last saw him at Christmas at a Christmas party. He always had that beautiful smile on his face and had some nice things to say and laugh about. My prayers to the family.
So sorry to hear about Denny! God speed!
Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones during this difficult time.
Debbie,Ethan, and family : We were saddened to hear about Denny. His smile and laughter will be missed. He is gone from from our sight but not from our hearts. We are out of town but wanted to let you know you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
To one of the nicest people we have ever met. May the family find PEACE in the days ahead….. Dennis will be missed.
Don worked for Curley Construction and Den was the best employer he ever had. Always enjoyed the “company picnics” at the Curley Fry stand at the fair. Our sincere sympathies to Deb and the boys. Rejoicing in Dennis’ now pain free life in Heaven.

Dennis and I shared a first name and seemingly a penchant for getting into touble in school. He was my childhood friend and I will miss him. Every time I saw him he asked if I recalled the time he road on the tail fin of 57 Chevy during a snipe hunt. Dennis was an inspiration to me. His life was a testament to the human spirit.
Curley Family: So sorry for your loss. Denny was a great guy & will be missed by all who knew him. He actually built one of our buildings here at the Township. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Deb and boys-
Denny was a wonderful and special person. We bonded during Ethan’s 8th grade year – and I was there when he was in the hospital after his accident. He had such a wonderful, loving support group that he had to get better! I know the last years have been very hard on all of you, but at least now you know Denny is at peace. My love to all of you.

He will be deeply missed. He was a good friend,husband,dad,boss.He was there when you needed someone to talk to about anything.Was a good listener. Great boss,he was one that would teach if you needed it.Most of all will miss his personality, he would make you laugh just like his parents would.He was always there for the family and friends over the years.
What a wonderful spirit Denny had! Even through all of the pain and struggle he has had, that happy and devilish spirit always came shining through. He truly loved life, and his wonderful Deb who lived it with him. Our thoughts and prayers go to Deb and the family and hope they will all keep some of that “Denny spirit”.
