Condolences to the family. Knew Dennis from Twin Disc and played some hoops together during those summer Saturday morning get togethers(1974,75,76….) usually at Johnson School. We also used to partake in those fun after work “social club meetings” in mid to late 70’s(2nd shift). Haven’t seen him in 35-40 years. Always enjoyed his company. He’s a good guy. Sad to hear about his passing.

James H Wilson says
I met Dennis when he started coming to the King Center, but it felt like I had known him all my life. Dennis had a sprit about him that drew people to him and once you got to know him, you had a friend for life. It’s funny because we use to tease Dennis because it seemed like when Dennis didn’t come to the Center in he morning no one would be there, but when he did, the game room would be packed with people playing Five Up and Pinochle. Blessings to the family.
In the words of Dennis, high low two jacks and gone…rest in peace my brother.
