Janene, Layne & Lucas,
So Sorry to hear about Dennis’ passing. I have so many great memories of good times we had. I will always appreciate his guidance when I was a new teacher, coach, driver’s ed instructor, as a Redskin or when he would calm me down and would remind me this too will pass. One of many memories I’ll never forget is the time I caught him by surprise on the dock fishing down in Texas at the resort where your family stayed. I drove around the parking lot twice looking for him I missed him the first time because he was baiting his hook and lighting a cig. & getting a beer. But when he stood up, I knew it was him. The look on his face as I walked down the long ramp was priceless! He laughed real big, gave me a hug, popped me a beer we had a toast and a big laugh. My wife reminded me I only got 1 because we were heading to the Valley. I was Sorry we missed each other at Fall River after he retired when we stayed at a Fall River cabin and he was out watching grandkids. I retire in May after 30 years and would not have made it without his guidance and friendship. May he live on forever in our memories!
Sincerely.
Thomas “John” Lent
’77 Redskin
