I will always love you, forever. Thank you for everything.
We are so sorry to hear of Dennis passing. We will always remember him with a big smile on his face!
We were so sorry to hear of Dennis’ passing. He was a kind, humble, warm man, and a wonderful neighbor. We were lucky to get to know him, and we will miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Lee, Christine & Jenni.
You are in our prayers.
So sorry to hear about Dennis from Dick Repose. Our condolences to his whole family. We were High School buddies and graduated together. Sincerely, Harris & Paula Bacon
We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Dennis Ryan. He was such a thoughtful, caring, and loving neighbor. Since we had moved here ten years ago, he had been nothing but a wonderful man. We will never forget the kindness he had showed us. Rest in peace friend.
I was so sad to hear from Cherie Swanson about Dennis. I had not seen him in many many years but always remembered how crazy he was about Marty! He never gave up. We all wished we could have had a “Dennis.” He was always fun to be around. It is nice to know he had a great life with Marty and his girls. Having been through the death of a husband, I know the pain. Remembering the good times gets one through it.
Lee – We were very sad to hear of Dennis’ passing. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
We are so sorry for your loss. Dennis was a great man, wonderful husband & father, friend and neighbor. We will miss him dearly.
Marty, Christine, Jenn. and Jack, I was saddened to hear about your loss. It was a pleasure spending time with Dennis. Upbeat and fun, as well as kind and thoughtfull, Dennis was also a wonderfull story teller. I could usually tell if he was stretching the truth just a wee bit by the sparkle in his eye. Going forward, please know that I will keep you in prayer. Love from your cousin, Jane Barnhart
Kathleen and I were very sorry to hear the news and send our condolences and best wishes. I will fondly miss talking with Dennis and spending time with him at the family charmaritas.
While it is certain that we will each pass on, what is not certain is who we will encounter in life and who becomes our loved ones, enriching our shared lives. The greater their impact, the greater is the sense of loss. As we contemplate the loss of Dennis, we have reason to truly celebrate the fact that he was in our lives and that we did have the good fortune of his shared love. Our thoughts are with you. Love, Peter Walsh and Irene Jeruss

Bino and I were so sad to hear of Dennis passing. He was a wonderful cousin who always had a ready smile. It was so nice to visit with you both at the charmarita. Dennis and all of you will be remembered in our prayers.
We were surprised and saddened to learn of his passing. He was always so friendly and pleasant. He will be missed by many people. You all are in our prayers.
Dear Lee, Christine and Jenny, We were sorry to hear of Dennis’s passing, and hope that precious memories are a comfort at this time. May God help you in healing. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. All Our Love, The Eaton Family
Dear Lee, Christine and Jenny, I am so sorry for your loss. I was shocked when I heard the news. Dennis was such a wonderful and happy guy. I always loved talking to him about the Red Sox!!! Christine and Jenny, he loved you two so much. His eyes always lit up when he spoke of you. He was so proud of you both. Keep his memory alive – keep sharing all of the wonderful stories. Love, Kathy and Emma Flood
Dear Jenni, Andrew and family, Steve and I were very sorry to hear of Dennis’ passing. We are praying and sending our love to you in your time of need. Love, (The)Nana & Steve
Dennis and I first became acquainted via golf. We partnered up on many occasions over the past decade, hacking our way through the Oak Marr and Jefferson golf courses. After Dennis was no longer able to play golf, we would meet for lunch on a semi-weekly basis. The venue was either Plaka, Panera, or the Greeks. Mostly, it was the Greeks, which was Dennis favorite by far. Over my entire time of knowing him, I dont recall Dennis ever saying an unkind word about anyone. He was a thoughtful and kind person. He was my friend and he will be missed.
To all the family our deepest condolences. Bill A. Belt Regional Administrator DOL Dallas Ret
Thinking of you on this day. Hope you are doing well in Florida. So sorry I didn’t get to say good by before you moved. Best wishes. Very cold here.
