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. Iām 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. Iāll 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 ā57 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.
