I knew Dennis for over 25 years, initially through our work fundraising for many HIV service charities and building a community to support our friends who were suffering.  He was a good and kind man, a friend who left us far too soon.  Rest in Peace my friend.  I hope to see you soon, but not too soon.

I only knew Dennis for a few years, I met him at DFL, and knew that he was one of a kind...so very saddened by his sudden passing...rest in peace my friend...

Oh Dennis...my dear friend..thank you for all the laughs and memories of summers at the Jersey Shore in your white impala..lol...we had so many laughs with Toni getting car sick every frigging time we drove to the shore! Fun times at my house..with Mr. And Mrs. D! Wonderful memories hanging out at Pal Joey's..I was so thrilled to find you on Facebook...so many years had passed, but when I saw your face the wonderful memories came flooding back....you were like my brother..I love you Dennis...always did and always will...Say hi to Mr.D for me...xoxo

Dennis and I first met over 30 years ago shortly after he moved to SF and, though we hadn't seen each other in over a year, he was never more than a phone call away. A kind man, a loving man... my world will be a little less bright without him. Our sadness carries itself from coast to coast.

The world is saddened by his loss.
A person who was kind,empathetic and saw the good in everyone. An advocate for the less fortunate. It was a privilege to be his cousin.
