Dear Paula & Family,

CHIROPRACTIC lost a good friend in Dennis, but he left us in a much better place than he found us. I'll always remember Dennis' kindness, integrity, and common-sense approach to the world. My family and I will continue to remember all of you in our prayers with hope God will provide you the wonderful memories of Dennis, where he can live in our hearts forever.

In our conversations regarding cycling, Dennis would always make note of the 'flatness'

I remember how helpful and patient Denny was with all of the students at Palmer.

I have worked with Denny as a friend and colleague for 15 years. We were part of a small group of chiropractic librarians. I always enjoyed my conversations with Denny, and I will miss him very much. I often discussed with him professional matters that concerned us both. He was a dedicated librarian and a great person to know. Although I have not met Paula or Denny's family, please accept my sincere condolences. Denny was obviously a loving and devoted husband, father, and family man.

Take good care. My thoughts are with you. Della Shupe

I was only made aware of Dennis' passing. Please accept my condolences. I had the pleasure of knowing Dennis for over 30 years and I always looked forward to seeing him at meetings. He was one of the most positive people I've ever known and I don't recall him ever saying anything negative about anyone. Dennis made an enormous impact not only at Palmer but throughout the state and region. His passing is a loss to our profession and his friendship will be greatly missed.

Nearly 25 years ago I interviewed for a librarian position at Palmer College and spent quite a bit of time talking with Dennis. I remember forming two important impressions about Dennis from that interview and they held true for the many years I have known him throughtout his entire career. Dennis was a person that showed his love of libraries and was excited about how he could use his leadership to improve the organization. Even more important he was a

I'm so sorry to hear of Dennis's passing. I worked at the Palmer Davenport library for almost two years, and I can't have asked for a kinder and more respectful boss. I was so nervous going into the interview, but his calm demeanor and kindness instantly put me at ease. He gave me my first job out of undergrad, and encouraged me when I expressed interest in attending graduate school for Library Science. I will always remember him fondly. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
