I'm ten now. You died when I was two. I never knew you that well, but I always feel a special connection to you and love you. You sound like an awesome guy. I love you so much! May you rest in peace.

-Your granddaughter, Hannah Ose

Dad, you would have been 69 yro tomorrow, 5/19/18.  We love and miss you very much.  You would have enjoyed seeing all your 5 grand kids together this upcoming June for a beach trip.  Thanks for being all that you could be to us, for raising us, and for helping us through many a tough time over the years.  Love, Ben 

Thank you Mr. Ose for all the kind love and support you showed to our family, it was a blessing a privledge working with you and your precious family. I never dreaded coming to work I loved what I did, you made those three years great!

Thank you, Dr. Ose for the gift of inspiration to me while caring for you during your illness.  You taught me so much about courage, determination, and grace under pressure.  "Vikings Rule"

Dennis was my tutor in Biochemistry, when I was a struggling first year medical student.  I found him to be a soft-spoken, kind young man who had a remarkable ability to make difficult concepts clear.  He could even make jokes about the subject, in his own low key, understated way.  He will always be remembered with much gratitude, and he will be missed.  My deepest sympathies and my prayers go out to his wife, Wendy, and to all his family.

I had the privilege of working with Dr. Ose while employed at WakeMed.  He was a very humble man, and I enjoyed working with him. He will be dearly missed I am sure!

The most kind and gentle man I have ever known. Thank you for taking such good care of my best friend Wendy.

Dr. Ose, your kindness and generosity knew no limits....I will always be  grateful  and blessed by the time i got to work with you.  You displayed such quiet demeanor and dignity.  You will be truly missed.

Our deepest sympathies to Wendy and family.  We knew Dennis as a lifelong friend from high school "debate team" days.  Although we did not always keep in close contact, whenever we spoke or visited, we were reminded of his constant wonderful character traits--quiet confidence, respect for others, diligence, intelligence, and unique humor.  We will miss Dennis.

Dear Dennis: Thank you for taking such good care of my sister Wendy and raising such illustrious children Ben and Rebecca. Your life has been classically inspirational, a quiet power which took care of other people before yourself. It was the little things you did, like sending my sons Napoleon Hill's book, Think and Grow Rich, and calling my wife Tracey for the latest recipe for tortellini. You showed me the secret of WHAT TO DO and HOW TO DO IT, but more importantly WE MAY HAVE WHATEVER YOU WANT IN LIFE. I wish you could have been with us longer. Lewis

Dear Dennis: thank you for doing such a wonderful job taking care of my sister Wendy and raising such illustrious children, Ben and Rebecca. Your professional and personal life has been classically inspirational to me and my three sons. My wife Tracey considered you the closest family member on my side of the tree. It was the little, often quiet power you possessed, like sending my family a copy of Napoleon Hill's book, Think and Grow Rich. or asking for the next recipe for tortellini. You taught me the secret of WHAT TO DO and HOW TO DO IT, but more importantly, YOU MAY HAVE WHATEVER YOU WANT IN LIFE. Dennis, I'll see you in the afterlife. Lewis

Dennis was a real pleasure to work with.  He was not only very knowledgeable but was also very kind and thoughtful.  He will be missed by all of us in radiology at WakeMed who knew and worked with him.

Dr. Ose definitely looked at the world through his very special rose colored lenses.  I had the pleasure of working with him for quite a while and he taught me quite a few cytology tidbits that I still use. His quirky sense of humor always made me smile.  I was saddened to hear of his passing...my deepest sympathy for your loss.  He will be missed.

Dr. Ose was a good man. He thought of his staff as people and treated them with respect. When I worked every weekend, we looked forward to his "donut days." He and I also shared a love of photography. Well, he's got a fantastic view now.
Your family is in my family's thoughts and prayers.

God Bless you all.

For Wendy and family,
We are deeply affected by your loss.
Linda and David

Dr. Ose will always be around us as a good person and a good boss. He will be missed and our condolences to the family. WakeMed-Cytology Lab

My deepest sympathy for your loss.  Dr. Ose's silly sense of humor made working with him lots of fun.  He treated us with kindness and was a thoughtful and generous boss.  We often talked about our love of the western United States, his hobby of bird watching and mine of hiking and wishing that we were somewhere in the mountains at that moment instead of in our pathology lab.  May he rest in peace.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.  Dr. Ose will always be in my memory as a boss with a love and dedication for his work and for a sense of humor. He was forever reminding me that "C" stands for "cat" (my love) and "B" is for "birds", (his love). Thanks, Dr. Ose.  God Bless You.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time.  Dr. Ose was always a wonderful and personable boss and friend.  He will be missed.
