    Virginia, words cannot begin to capture our thoughts on hearing of Dennis passing. What a wonderful man who was loved by so many, especially you. Iā€™m so thankful we were able to have breakfast with the two of you several times in Galveston before leaving on one of your many cruises. Iā€™ll never forget how the two of you showed up at my FA graduation at Southwest, it meant so much! Thinking of you during this time.

    I graduated with Dennis from Kota way back when (1971). I remember he came over one day to help put a new starter in my ā€˜57 Ford. I think he realized I was somewhat useless with cars. Always had a smile and was very funny. Times like this I can see us all, and we are all 17. Take care.
