I personally did not know Dennis but, my thoughts are with the family. I hope you can find comfort where I too have found in the past, 2 Cor. 1:4 “Who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trail with the comfort that we receive from God.”

Dennis was my best friend when we went to Southern Heights school. We lived on Chaddsford Dr. in Westchester. We always stopped at Richards restaurant on our way to school in 4th grade. I thought of him often over the years. My sympathy to his family.

I also lived in the Westchester Addition on Landsdowne Drive…. And I went to school at Southern Heights Elementary School…. I was friends with Dennis and Mike…. Mike was in my grade, and Mike and I got into a lot of trouble together in Mr Mossburg’s 6th grade class.., I lost touch with Mike, Dennis and his family in the early 80’s, after they moved from Westchester Addition to Leith St after their father was killed in 1974, Mike had to go to a different school,but we still remained friends for a number of years,they last time I had seen Mike and Dennis was at their house on Hoagland Street near the old Lutheran Hospital in the spring of 1980…. Then I didn’t see either one of them until late 1986…. They were living in the corner of Spatz and McKinnie streets, and then I lost contact with them until 2006 when I ran into Mike on Broadway at a gas station,he invited me over to his place on Michigan Ave…. I visited several times,but the last time I saw Mike and Dennis was in April of 2007,he had my daughter and I and my sister Candy come over for a cookout…. After that I lost contact with them again, and a few years later I had learned that Mike passed away in Arizona, now Dennis, even though Dennis passed away 5 years ago…. I can remember when their Mom,who is such a dear soul worked I think it was Don Pedro’s on South Anthony Blvd….. She worked hard to take care of her kids after their Dad was killed…. My condolences go out to Mrs Ernestine LeCompte and sister Tina….. Dennis, Mike, Dale Closer, Wade Closer, Mike Ross, Greg Raugh,Jerry Hess and I had a lot of fun together
