I worked with Dennis at Fish Building Supply, and on several of his theatre productions at Bunky's and the Inn on the Park! What a great guy, and what terrific memories he gave me! Carol Menz

My condolences to the Loftus family. I have had the pleasure of being Dennis’s neighbor across the street for the last 14 years. We would share a wave, smile, brief conversation especially when a campaign sign was in his front lawn. He was excited to show me his new car when he bought it! Will miss seeing him in the front window at nights, and sometimes door open with music, before he’d go to work. May he Rest In Peace.
