27 Oct 2021Cousin Dennis lived a life devoted to caring for others and he will truly be missed by all. He was a good man, good husband, good son, good brother and good uncle to those he loved and loved him. Lorraine and the whole family are all in our thoughts and prayers in this time of great loss. Dennis is reunited with the love of his life, Debbie and that should comfort us all. Even though he is leaving us too soon, he lived a full, productive and happy life loved by many (especially his Aunt Wilma). With love from your California cousins Phyl and Dave Sieber
