My Grandfather was a loving man. I don't even know if anyone will see this, but my only regret was not being to know him for longer. Sure, 12 years is a lot of time, but certainly not enough. he was such a great role model in my life and I will never forget that. I love you Grandpa, rest in peace, and Grandma says hi. With love, Gabriella Baudek

Dennis was my best friend, college roommate, and best man at my wedding. There will always be a special place in my heart for such a caring, wonderful man. Even though you were so many miles away from me I will always keep our shared memories with the guy I felt was like my brother. I’ll miss you, as will everyone that knew you. Rest in peace.
