I'm shocked and saddened by this news. Although Don Jones is my area salesmen I've had the opportunity to work with Dennis on many occasions and always had a pleasurable and professional experience. I will miss hanging out with him at IWF as well. I will be thinking of his family. Forrest

Very sad day. Dennis was a fine, honest man. I lost count of the number of jobs we got as a result of him. He wanted us to be successful with our CNC, long after his job as a salesman was done. He always stopped by for a visit when he was passing through, even though our shop is way out of the way. It was a pleasure knowing him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Rest in peace, Dennis, we'll miss you.

I can't say any more than what Forrest and Jeremy have already said--Dennis was an all-around great guy that loved life and his career. Along with all that have been fortunate enough to have known Dennis, I will truly miss him!

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm sad to hear Dennis pasted, I enjoyed the time I did get to spend with him. Very cool guy!
