Greg shares my sorrow as we heard of Dennis’ passing. We have fine memories of our friendship with him and Sue as we were neighbors in northern Virginia–where the neighbors changed every 3 years because they all had government-related jobs! Dennis had a great sense of humor and our sons were good friends. We will always remember our very good times together.
