My name is Bill Ogburn, Class of 67. I had the privilege of playing football with Dennis at The Citadel & was the under classmate of the defensive backfield. What  a defensive back was Dennis & friend to me. Many time he would give me advise that I remember to this day. My condolences to his family & he will be missed.

My name is Mike Caldwell and I was a classmate of Dennis at The Citadel and also played football with him.  He was a great defensive player and a really good teammate.  When I think of him I can see that same smile that’s in all his pictures, great guy!!  Rest in peace my friend.  My condolences to all the family, he will be missed by all!

I’m Jimmy Fayssoux and Dennis and I were classmates at The Citadel. We were also teammates on the football team.  Dennis and I sweated blood in that hot, humid, no see’ums weather of the SC lowcountry. Dennis was one hell of a football player. When the team traveled to away games and we stayed overnight, Dennis and I were roommates. I will miss him but I know where he is! He was a good man and one of God’s people. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Dennis was loved and respected by everyone.  I was privileged to know him first as a faithful member of the church family at Second Baptist in Cedartown and later as my sister’s brother-in-law.  He was admired always!
My deepest sympathy to his precious family, Gail Teems Roberts

Uncle Dennis will be remembered fondly for his passion for golf, love for Alabama football, and his softball prowess in his 20’s. His insightful opinions and infectious laughter left a lasting impact on all of our loving memories. Cherishing the memories of his warmth and love for being a grandfather will help keep his spirit alive in our hearts.

Dear Marilyn, India, & Vincent as well as the rest of Dennis’ family including Becky, Gary, & Sandra,  my sincere and heartfelt sympathy on the death of Dennis. I am so sorry for your loss and grief.  May all your good memories help you cope with your loss.  

Dennis and I went to school and church together in Cedartown, GA, for twelve years from elementary school through high school.  I can still see Dennis, Becky, Gary, and Joe Kines being active in Vacation Bible School at Second Baptist Church when we were kids.  Dennis had good, hardworking parents, who were active in their children’s lives.  Then In high school,  Dennis and Marilyn fell in love while at Cedartown High School in Cedartown, GA, and  married after college.   

One of my favorite quotes i from a tiny book called “Almost a Rainbow” is “No man dies until he is forgotten.”.  May all your good memories you made with Dennis help to ease your pain and grief over the loss of Dennis.  

Love, 
Reba Teems Payne
