Brenda and family, there are no words that we can say to express how very sad we are to hear about Dennis. Rick truly enjoyed working on the farm for you and you both became very special to him. There were many times that we would transport beef back to PA on our trip home. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers and Dennis will never be forgotten. ❤️❤️

I’m very saddened to hear of Dennis’s passing. I have fond memories of my Dad (Rick) bringing us to your farm when we were kids. We always looked forward to seeing the huge cows when we came back to Marissa to visit.
I also remember the time Dennis came East for a tractor or something related to tractors, and got to visit with us in Pennsylvania for a couple days.
I know my Dad greatly valued his friendship with Dennis, and looked forward to seeing him each time he returned to Marissa.
Please know that we are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Much love and comfort to you all.
Godspeed Dennis, May you Rest In Peace. -

My heart is so heavy, I have lost a friend that I have had all my life, I keep thinking about the times we would ride our bikes down the road to Grandpa Wilkie’s farm then we would race back to Teet & Gene’s, he would always win .
My heart goes out to all the family, he will be missed, thank God he is at peace now….

To Dennis’ family,
Our deepest sympathies to you all on the passing of Dennis. We “grew” up together as our mothers were close friends. While it’s been years since I last saw him, I can still recall childhood events that bring a smile. May your memories of him give you the peace and comfort to sustain you in your grief.
