Rice Family, Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family. We have known Dennis for a very long time, and he use to watch our daughters Ashley and Britney when they were smaller. The girls still smile about riding with Dennis in his little Chevy S10 truck, with the windows rolled down and Garth Brooks just a blaring and Dennis singing to the top of his lungs!!! Those were the good days!!! Hugs to you all!! Shelley

Rice Family,
We were so sad to hear of Dennis’ passing. He was a great person. He was one of our classmates from the class of ’78.
Dennis and Greg were the best of buddies in their younger days and had lots of stories about the good ole days..
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this most difficult time.
