We Love you so Much! The world Has lost the Most Amazing Man ever! Wish We could be there with our Michigan Family in there time of need! Our thoughts and prayers are with you all!
We enjoyed Dennis as a good friend, neighbor and he helped us replace our flat roof with a peaked roof that would catch the sun in the winter. My grandmother Carr lived on the Buckhorn Road across from the Slacks so Arlene knew Dennis as a 9 or 10 year old boy. Fond memories.
