Dennis was a man of few words but he always made sure that those who meant the most to him felt his love. No matter what was happening in his own life, he always made it a point to put others first. His selflessness during his time on Earth was admirable. Dennis' love and passion for his family and Chicago sports was something that he would share with everyone. He was compassionate while offering a shoulder to lean on. Dennis was an amazing man; although he is no longer with us, his presence will be felt forever.
