The Old Guy


My wonderful husband, Dennis, passed away last month. He suffered a heart attack in October and though he fought very hard to stay here, he never recovered.

We were married for a bit more than 39 years and were friends for several years before that. Together we made three lovely children who have grown into wonderful adults. Dennis loved them very much; he worked hard, but his family always came first. The best days of his life were when his children and grandchildren were born.

Dennis loved little kids, dogs (and cats with attitude), science fiction, good food, John Wayne westerns and card games. He was opinionated, intelligent and stubborn, and he could always be counted on to do the right thing. He liked nothing better than to get together with friends and have a good laugh.



I miss him.

  1. Of course you do.

    It seems impossible that it can be that many years, that long ago.
    I remember visiting you guys in that condo in, was it Reston?
    About an eternity ago.

  2. And you always will. But think of all of the great memories you have! All of the laughter you shared over the years! Remember the good times! And hopefully that will help at least a little!

  3. I'm so sorry to hear of your husband's heart attack. My sympathies. I know his passing leaves a huge hole in your life. I'll be thinking of you. (A fan from PR)
