Dennis was a funny guy. We shared our love of racing and both pulled for Dale Jr. He would call after each race with a funny comment. Jonathan he loved you so much and spoke of you and your family each time he called. I know you will miss him. RIP Dennis, you made it to the finish line.

Memories is all we have that last a lifetime. I’m thankful that I have many to remember like going to the track, and the bowling alley. In my eyes when I was a kid you were a dedicated worker, and loved your children unconditionally. And I will always be grateful that you raised me like I was your own for 12 years. Love Jodi
