I’ll never forget when I was young and still trying to figure things out, Dennis taught me how you can be both strong and empathetic at the same time. Something I still strive towards today.
And while I regret not being a part of each others’ lives later in years, his smile and early wisdom left an indelible impression in my life. And that’s what matters.
Much Respect.
