Just received the news today my good friend Dennis has passed away. He was a very good friend and we shared a lot of good times together growing up and throughout high school. I will definitely cherish the good old days with Dennis
I am so sorry for your loss. Mike was a classmate and good friend when we were younger. Sending lots of prayers to the family.
We referred to Mike as “Cuz”. Always seemed to have a smile and kind word for everyone he encountered through his travels. He wasn’t a presence in our life everyday but was always in our hearts. Fly with the Angels Mike we’ll see you again on the other side.
Dennis was a good friend during our high school days with a lot of good times and memories. A unique individual. Condolences to the family.
Mike and I were friends all of our lives. He worked for me and my dad Nick Burrus from 1993 to 2005. We lost touch after that. I have many pictures of Mike and Joan . He was truly apart of our family. I will miss him. Happy trails Mike until we meet again.
I just read this and my thoughts and prayers to the family. Dennis lived at Lake Tapawingo when I was in high school. Many good memories.
Sympathies to Dennis’ family and loved ones He was truly a close friend of our younger days. Thanks for the memories! Love ya brother…
