We shared so many fun time Dennis’s LIC HS  in the 70ies and 80ies. 
Stories, concerts and hanging together with a bunch of friends 🙌

You were alway a calm and funny brother to us. You are truly missed 🙏

Hey Dennis, happy 3rd anniversary in Heaven. Do youremember when we were kids and on occasion we'd get to sleep over each other's houses in the summer? This was back in the day before anyone had air conditioning, and we slept with open windows. I wondered how you guys could sleep with all the city noises, and you wondered how we could sleep with all the country noises. We grew up in different environments but in the same loving family. Fond memories, for sure.  RIP Cuz.

My friend Dennis, go back to the days in high school in the 70s. We use to go into NYC to watch concerts in central park when it was called the Schaefer  concerts at the skating rink. 
The band Chicago was playing, and Dennis was wearing his famous hat. 💝🙌😊
We were childhood friends and he was one of the nicest friends I had.

Wishing him peace and I know he is ok now happy and in a wonderful place  🙏

With love and fun memories.
Nicky C.


Dennis I have been in love with you from the first moment you walked in to my life.  Life led us down different paths, but you are always in my heart.  Thank you for the memories my friend, I know we will see each other again!  

Dear Dennis,
What can I say old man? I always found strength from your courage and positive attitude, despite the existential hardships you endured so gracefully.  God obviously had a plan for you, and you've given us far more than one person could be expected to give. I'm bummed that we can't get together to celebrate your life, due to this Corona virus, but I'm grateful to have your voice mail recording wishing me a happy birthday as a memento. Say hello to Matthew, Uncle Matty & Aunt Dorothy, and all of our relatives in Heaven.  Rest in peace, smile down upon us, and look over us until we meet again. Love you Cuz. -David

Dear Dennis, since we were little I always remember you being my shadow.  Mom would always say “take your brother along & watch over him”.  Thankfully my girlfriends didn’t mind so much.  From walking you back & forth each day to school at St Patrick’s & taking you every Sunday to the Children’s Mass, since you were in first grade; going to see double feature movies on Saturdays at the Strand; playing endless hours of board & street games; cooling down in the fire hydrant in the summers; to rock concerts at Shea Stadium & The Garden when we were older.  We were inseparable when we were young.
You were always the best Uncle to Erin & Colleen; they loved hanging out with you playing games, going fishing, the playground, amusement rides at Rockaway Beach & so much more.  
You had a heart of gold & were a true friend to all.  A piece of my heart went with you.  May you finally be free of your demons.  You were always so strong & brave  💟☮️

D. Malone, even though I hadn't seen you in a few decades, I will always remember you with fond memories. We had a lot of wild times when we were the young wild ones in the neighborhood, from  St. Pats through the teens, from hockey to the crazy nights. I still talk about being at your house, enjoying your Mom's always amazing hospitality, when Matty came in and told us John Lennon died, and we were by weird coincidence listening to Double Fantasy at the time. I will also always remember you on the train station at Queens Plaza, after some pitch & putt at Flushing Meadows, teeing up a golf ball on train station and hitting a perfect 7 iron and somehow, incredibly, not killing someone or breaking any windows but having that golf ball land safely on the roof across the street, truly unforgettable. You'll live on forever in the tales and I look forward to some day seeing all of the old troops at the great gig in the sky! As T. Jordan would say, "Love You Madly!" - Frank Priboy

I'm so happy that you invited Miguel & me to the museum of moving image on 12-20-19 of course it was your birthday which made it that much more  exciting . We had a GREAT TIME!

you in the  Comfort of your home on 2-24-19. Dennis I miss you 
Every day ,& think of you all day. I know your with mom dad & big 
Brother  & the rest of your family  that comforts my heart .
In till the day I see you again my dear Dennis. OXOXO
               
                                             Forever ❤️ Lucy 🙏✝️

As a kid I always looked forward to going to my Nanny's house. Not only because of all the Nanny hugs & yummy food she fed us, but because that meant I got to hang out with my Uncle Dennis. He would have the best games to play (hit the stick & scully), let us listen to his records and stay up late to watch Beavis & Butthead. Despite all the he was going through back then he was always present with us, fun & happy. 

We will miss you Uncle Dennis. I hope you are at peace now<3

Dennis, we go back to LIC HS days and 204  park as well as Ravenswood where we gathered as Friends. Many days we would just spend time sitting and talking about things we were going to do like going to NY.C  to the Schaefer concerts in Central Park.  You always wore your trade mark hat. We would talk  to girls and watch bands from the rocks just listening to some good bands. They were good time my friend and wonderful memories 😊🙌
Rest In Peace my friend you were one of a kind.
Your friend Nicky.c 🙏

My Dearest friend Dennis ,You know I love you like a  brother & Miss you with all my heart. My mom Kalila  Miguel & Monique Miss you too. You were truly one of a kind . Loving  caring intelligent selfless, just a beautiful soul. And you will forever be in our hearts.

One of my favorite old memories of Dennis is when your family came out to see us one time for who knows what  probably about 1975. I was all of about 10 years old. Obviously looking back on it they wanted to unload us kids for the afternoon and had no problem sending us to a movie theatre that was playing all 5 Planet of the Apes movies in order ( The 7O's LOL !).  I remember we lasted through about 2&1/2 of them before my brother Dave told us that we had to go home because Dennis was getting sick  after being  in the theater for about 4 hrs  !. I was mad because I was set on seeing all 5 !
Too much popcorn and apes sent him over the edge !
Always cracks me up thinking about that.
Rest In Peace Dennis , always enjoyed talking to you about bands and other stuff. Great sense of humor and always a positive attitude even with the hand you were dealt.
Even though we only saw each other at family functions as we grew older ( I.E.- Weddings and Funerals ) it was a shock hearing hearing about your passing.
Much rather have you here than there.
Love,
       Your Cousin,
                  Tim

Rest In Peace Dennis . You had a hard but good life. You were a good brother to Tara and Matty. You were a good Uncle to Erin and Colleen , and a good brother-in-law to me.Peace my Friend.
