WE THINK OF YOU IN SILENCE AND MAKE NO OUT WORD SHOW.BUT WHAT IT MEANT TO LOOSE YOU KNOW ONE WILL EVER KNOW. A GOLDEN HEART STOPPED BEATING TO PUT YOUR MIND AT REST. GOD BROKE OUR HEARTS TO PROVE IT – HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST. TO SOME MAYBE FORGOTTEN TO OTHERS A PART OF THE PAST BUT THOSE WHO LOVE YOU DEARLY MEMORIES WILL ALWAYS LAST.
A great loss is felt today as the City of Fulton DPW starts it week off with the loss of one of its finest workers. Dennis was not there this morning to open the main door or pull my truck outside. More importantely he wasn’t there to put a smile on everyone’s face as he so often did each morning. His presence will be surely missed. May the Lord bless him and his family.
It was a quiet day at City Hall today because we were remembering Dennis with sadness and contemplating the thought of never having his smile light up our day. I remember him with fondness when I was an Alderman for the City. He would always greet me with a smile, a wave or a funny saying. My thoughts and prayers are with his family as well with the members of the DPW who were his family too.
We all will miss him but we will always carry his good natured spirit in our hearts.
I’ve worked for the city during the summer for the past 4 summers and worked with Dennis many times, and one summer I worked with him for the entire summer on mowing crew. He could always put a smile on my face or make me laugh if I was having a bad day or if I wasn’t having a bad day. Everyone, including myself, will miss him dearly. God bless him and my prayers go out to his family.
It’s been a tough couple of days around the D.P.W. Garage. It just isn’t the same without Denny around. He always had something funny to say, he would have you laughing all day long just by some of the stuff he would do. You couldn’t ask for a better person as a friend or a co worker. He will be sorely missed. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family
I will sadly miss dennis i have lots of fond memory’s of him.
i remember the time when i drove around the garage about 3 times becuse we were a couple of minutes early,and dennis got mad and called me a idiot.then he pulled the parking brake out and got out of the truck.it was all in fun though.i sure will miss him.god bless him and his family my prayers are with you and your family.
a person once told me that your know how successful by the number of friends you have dennis by the turn out tonight you are a very succesful man. you brought a lot of joy and laughter to the people around you and you will be missed very much by the people who lives you touch.
I drove the snowplow out the door of the D.P.W. alone this time. The seat next to me empty as a symbol, that Dennis had passed. It was a quiet ride , something I’m not use to. Parked the snowplow in front of the funeral home to show everyone how much you will be missed knowing how much Dennis loved to plow. Not a big gesture but it meant alot to the people he worked with. Dennis will be missed by each of us in our own way. But, we all carry many “Denny” stories that will last for many years. Thanks Dennis!
I didn’t know Denny very well but what I do know is that he knew how make your day. I could always count on Denny for a good laugh or at least a smile. Thanks for being a good sport Denny.
deapest sympathy is sent to his kids I knew a couple of them but i did not know dennis very well but i heard alot of good things about him.
Dennis was my uncle.&& i want to thank Everyone who has put him and us in your prayers. Thank you for everything! It really means a lot to all of us. Dennis, was always the uncle i looked forward to seeing on the holidays. He was always willing to listen and he would brighten up the room more then anyone else that i can remember .So thank you it means more then anyone can know.
