Dennis, I neglected to pay you tribute after hearing of your untimely passing. Your daughter was kind enough to seek me out over a year ago. Dennis, we spent many years together from elementary through high school. You were a "true" friend with your unconditional love. I spent more New Year's Eves with you than anyone growing up. They were always fun! I will never forget football, basketball and other numerous activities at Bellwood elementary. Your had an infectious laugh and a memorable smile. You and your parents always welcomed me into your home as family. Dennis, I fell out of touch with you and daily regret not seeing you just one more time. Now it is too late and I can only relish the memories. I know what a real friend is and have had very few in my life. You are on that short list and know you are a friend of friends in heaven. You have a very loving family who continue to pay you homage. I love you and miss you Dennis. Scott

I'm 36 today Daddy. I didn't even want to celebrate my birthday because it is my 1st without you. No one would let me refuse to celebrate. My students bought me a cake. I wore my wedding tiara all day like a princess. Darryl sent me roses at work. I had a Carvel cake and pizza with Mom, Kevin, & Gabe. I had close to 200 facebook friends wishing me happy birthday which was so cool. My birthday wish (when I blew out my candles) was for one more hug from you. I love you Dad. It hasn't gotten easier. I miss you terribly. XoxoX -L

Dad, I feel lost today. I wish I could come over for coffee and pull up a chair and ask your advice. My birthday is in 2 weeks from today. I don't even want to celebrate it at all. You were the one who always made it special. I just can't cope right now. I knew I'd always miss you Dad, it's hard with you not being around for the little things....never knew it would sting so bad in my heart for so long. What are you doing up there? Some one in Land O' Lakes, Fl is thinking of you and loving you tonight......

To my Wonderful little brother, Dennis I have been reading all of the comments others have said about you and they only express just a miniute portion of how wonderful you were and are. You have touched many here on earth, and will still greatly influence things we do in the future. You always made all of us laugh with your jokes, cheering us up if we were down, letting us dump on you when we needed to. You were always worrying about everyone else even when you should have been thinking of yourself. You may have been my little brother but it seemed as if you were the one that was older because you were my "Rock" I could always count on. You were and are the greatest, Son, Brother, Father, Uncle, Grandfather, Great Uncle and Friend any one could have had. You will be greatly missed by all. Till we see each other again, I Love You, Always and Forever your "little" sister Nancy To Denny, Desi, Kevin, Lahoma, Melissa & Lynda, I am so glad Dennis had you in his life and I was able to come here to Florida to be with you and support you during this time of grief and "Celebration" of his life. I will always be here for you even when I return home so don't hesitate to call, email, etc me any time day or night if you need me, whether to just talk, or whatever. Love to you all, Nancy, and aka. Aunt Nancy

Dearest Dad, (our Daddy, Pops...Old Man, Old fart, Big "D", Den, and always "Mr. Wonderful...with whipped cream & a cherry on top) If I had known that the last time I'd hold your hand was to be the last, I never would have let it go............ Dad's hold their children hands to help them through their milestones, their failures, their achievements.....like when you held my hand and walked me down the aisle on my wedding day. I'm so blessed to have had that day. I held that same hand so you would feel loved and valued as you went to be with Jesus. The day I let go of your hand for the last time will also always be the day you let go of mine forever. When a Dad loves his little girl, she becomes a confident, secure, woman who is bold and willing to take on the world. You made me feel like I was the "Best" at everything I would ever do or dream that I could achieve. I have never been afraid to attempt great things because you instilled that belief in me. When I write that novel that changes someone's life forever, it will be because you always believed I would. Having fun isn't the most important thing in life, but you made life fun. You taught us the love of the game. How to play our best, and give our best to everyone and everything. You did everything with a smile because you knew it put people at ease and made them trust you as a person. Growing up, we always knew we could trust you. You made it a point to allow us to be ourselves and speak freely, and we knew we could come to you and talk to you about any and everything. That you wouldn't reject us or put us down. That no matter how bad it was, you'd be there, for support. When I found out I was pregnant with Gabriel, even though it was outside of God's perfect will for my life, I knew I could tell you, that you'd love me, and that your home would always be my home....because home was where the ones you love are. You will always be our "Home" Dad. You are one of those men who were never embarrassed to cry in front of his wife and children. Because of that strength, we learned to have compassion on people who are hurting, or alone in this world. The tears we shed for you today are because we can not bear living life without you, not because Jesus took you home so you would never suffer again. You always said "I love you" to those you love. I worried I would never hear your voice say those words again, until you mouthed them to me as I said goodbye to you. No voice could ever speak as loud as that simple act of love. I will hide it in the secret place in my heart for the rest of my life, because I know my Dad loved me the day he breathed his last breath. Family was most important to you Dad, more than anything you ever owned, ever achieved, ever received. Being a husband, and loving only one woman with all of your heart, all of your soul, and all of your body... as a husband loves his wife, was the most important to you. You knew only Mom and that was who you were, and what you were about. The love of your lifetime....... You loved your children, and gave us 100% of your heart and time. We had all of your time. You are in every memory in our lives and will always be the 1st man in our life. Family always came 1st and there was nothing you wouldn't do to protect us, and shelter us from things that were painful and would hurt us....almost to a fault! Because of this, we have families that people envy. they wish they could express themselves to their family like we do. They wish they could open up & share with their families like we do, we talk about everything....good, bad, embarrassing, ugly, and even hurtful because we are real. Our family is real. Everyone is always welcome, our home is always open.....because "your love opened the door to our hearts" Living our lives without you will be the hardest thing we will ever have to do as a family. I don't want to. I would've fought for you till my last heart beat, and breathed for your lungs if I could. It's not fair! You were so young. Dad my heart is broken and you are not here to fix it. You are in everything....every memory, every milestone, the birth of our children, our weddings. I can't bear the knowledge that you won't be with us to make new memories or milestones. I know you are at peace. I know you are no longer hurting. I know you are with my baby (you saw her before me) and with Richard, and Grandma, and Grandpa, and Uncle Steve. I know Jesus took you home, I was there with you when you left, but it still doesn't mean that I wouldn't trade all my Silly Bandz and Gone With the Wind collectibles for one more day with you here on Earth. You instilled in me a love for family and the thrill of the game, and I'll be that way throughout my life. As the oldest, I vow to you Dad that I will look after and care for Mom, Lis, DJ, Desi, and Kevin all the days of my life.....because Dad, I won't just love you all the days of your life.... I will love you every day for the rest of mine! I will find you in the little things, the ones that matter. When I see a crackling camp fire, roast a marshmallow, play a game of cards, when someone bowls a strike, when we reel in the "big one", when I hear Air Supply on the radio or "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", when I sip a really good cup of coffee, and when we pull a prank or practical joke on someone....you'll be in all of it. Have you beat Jesus at poker yet? Hayy, no cheating! Jesus will know! Until Jesus takes me home Dad, (and you better be with him ready to hand me a hot cup of coffee) I will love and miss you, ALWAYS! XoXo your Princess, Lahoma Jean, the jelly bean Queen.......... Most of you know I was a single Mom for many years. My parents were always there, still are, to help me raise my son. One day when Gabe and I were independent and living on our own, I heard a song on the radio that made me sob. Although I was both a Mom & Dad to my son, the song made me think of my Dad. It was if it was written just for him. I'd like to share a few of the lyrics: Brad Paisley "He Didn't Have to Be" When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new It always winds up feeling more like a job interview My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run I met the man I call my dad when I was eight years old He took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go A few months later I remember lying there in bed I overheard him pop the question and prayed that she'd say yes And then all of a sudden Oh, it seemed so strange to me How we went from something's missing To a family Lookin' back all I can say About all the things he did for me Is I hope I'm at least half the dad That he didn't have to be I LOVE YOU DAD!

Dear Lynda and family...I am so sorry for your loss. I am holding you all in my thoughts and prayers. I grew up with Dennis.The Ulmer, Scoble, and Stowell families spent many wonderful moments together and I am grateful to have been a small part of Dennis' life.As I read the loving tributes from his children and friends, I can see that he remained the sweet, kind, loving, generous, and funny soul that I knew him to be as a child. He will always be here with us in all of the memories he has given us. Dear Sandy, Diane, Nancy, Liz and your families...I am holding you all in my heart and in my prayers. May your memories of Dennis bring you comfort and ease your grief in the days ahead. As our circle of family and friends grows smaller here on earth...it brings me comfort to know that the "chain" has not been broken...and that we will all be joined together again in heaven. God bless all of you. Dear Dennis...may you rest in peace, my friend. You were one of the most courageous people I have ever known...and you fought the good fight. Although we didn't see each other very often in our adult years...you will always be a special part of my childhood memories. Say hello to "the gang" for me...until we meet again! Sandy

I will always have a place in my heart for Dennis. I can remember Dennis when he was just a little guy and wanted me to teach him how to fish. He and I had our own way of joking around and I can never forget those. I have many fond memories of times that we spent together and things that we did. There is a way that makes us brothers none go their way alone. What we put into the lives of others comes back into our own. Dennis was always there to give and help in any way he could. Like his sister, I'm not going to say goodbye, I'm going to say "Until We Meet Again! During your journey on your final flight home. White wings will carry you and you will be flown. To the pearly gates of Heaven, where they will usher you in. To the feet of your Lord, your Savior, and your friend. He will hold you in his arms and the angels will sing. As another one of His children is delivered by white wings.

Great Video Quick story. On a fishing trip to Lake Cachuma, Richard, Dennis and I, the shore was backed shoulder to shoulder with no one catching fish. Then Dennis and I caught three in rapid succession. Everyone came around to see why we were catching them and they couldn't, even though they were using the same pink power bait. Dennis told them with a straight face that we shaped ours like Mickey Mouse. We'll I don't know if they believed him but they were sure taking along time to bait there hooks after that. Thanks for the memories.

As I sit here plagued by disbelief My broken heart finds no relief Memories of you swirl 'round my mind Taunting me with tears that blind. Your absence leaves my heart in pieces, Racked with pain that never ceases. You leave a void that can't be filled Despite how many tears are spilled. I don't know how to carry on With the burden of your being gone. It torments me to hear your name My life will never be the same. Can't imagine a family game night Without you striving to win for bragging rights. No more "Hearts" or "Game of Things", "Hand and Foot", with Chris' cheating. No more Busch Gardens or fishing trips Or stealing each other's poker chips. Time went so fast, thought we'd have more Too young to die at 54. I took for granted that you'd be here What I would give for one more year. Didn't know these holidays would be your last, Or I'd have slowed them down, they went too fast. Now you're gone, there's no going back, One day I'll learn to endure the lack. Spent nights at your side so you weren't alone, When you left us for your Heavenly home. As you were leaving this Earth, I kissed your face And released you to your Heavenly place. No longer in pain, which makes me glad, You were my friend, You're always My Dad! I love you so much, Daddy! Words can't describe the loss I feel at not having you here with us. The knowledge that we will be together again, for eternity, doesn't make it hurt less right now. I'd give anything to have you back. You made life way more fun with your goofy antics, and willingness to be a big dork, just to make us laugh. Thank you so much for talking mom into letting us meet your friends Captain Crunch, Lucky Charms, and Count Chocula! They beat wheat germ any day! I love you, and will continue loving you everyday of my life! See you on the other side! Love you Always and Forever, Melissa aka "Squirt"

Dad, I'm working on the right words to say at your service that will express how much we love and value you as our Dad....just like you asked me to do for you after Grandpa Fred's funeral. For once, I'm at a loss for words. My heart is broken :( I didn't think I'd have to do this so soon. It's not fair. I keep waiting for you to come over for coffee after dropping the boys off, and the thought that you'll never do that again makes me want to throw away the coffee maker. I couldn't go to church this morning because I knew I'd forget and scan the second row for your bald head. The thought that you won't be at church with us hurts. We went shopping today for food to make at the "celebration of your life" party after your service. I planned to make all your favorites. When I realized that you wouldn't be there to eat it, I wept at the check-out counter and had to run to the car. You are in everything....every memory, every milestone, the birth of our children, our weddings. I can't bear the knowledge that you won't be with us to make new memories or milestones. I know you are at peace. I know you are no longer hurting. I know you are with my baby (you saw her before me) and with Richard, and Grandma, and Grandpa, and Uncle Steve. I know Jesus took you home, I was there with you when you left, but it still doesn't mean that I wouldn't trade all my Silly Bandz and Gone With the Wind collectibles for one more day with you here on Earth.

The kids are almost grown. Taylor is in college. Matthew and Gabriel are in their senior year(s) of high school. Ashlee & Kevin are almost 16. Chris and Melissa bought a house close to Tresa. Melissa is a professional make up artist and hair stylist in a salon and does amazing, creative things. You'd be blown away and proud. Chris's business is thriving. I'm still teaching and almost done with my novel. You were waiting for me to finish for so long. Darryl and I divorced and as painful as that was, I'm happy and have been blessed with finding the love of my lifetime. We will marry in December. You won't be there and that hurts but I know that you would've loved my fiancé as much as everyone else who ever meets him, does. He's a wonderful and kind man, funny, loves family and games and get togethers just like you. I've been blessed with him and my close friends. Dad, Guy died Saturday. You know already. He's with you and baby Isabella in Heaven. I'm sure you're already drinking coffee, playing cards, and eating pie with each other. My heart is broken that 2 men in my life, who meant the world to me, are gone from this world….stars in the sky whose lights have gone out. You both simply vanished one day and coping has been difficult. Mariah has helped ease the pain of losing you. She's incredibly smart. She sings and dances and has a great sense of humor. She said she's seen you a few times. She actually has said "I'm talking to Pops" when we have found her talking to herself. She was born 8 months after you passed and never met you. We'd like to believe it's true. You would love her Dad. It's sad that she won't meet you until Heaven. Hug Guy for us. Hugs to you too Dad. I can't wait to tell you things again someday, like about LahomaPalooza. It actually happened! I'm going back for the second gathering in 2 weeks. A bunch of women in Lahoma, Oklahoma with the name Lahoma. The town celebrated us and will do so every year as part of their Founders Day parade. Remember when it was just an idea? It was incredible. I love you so much Dad.

Dad, I just wanted to tell you Desi is having her baby. Mom and I are on our way to the hospital now since we both will be with her. I swore the day you died that I'd never step foot in Tampa General Hospital again and he we are, due to circumstances, welcoming your grand daughter Mariah into the world. That place took a life and is giving us back one. Tonight I will give Desi the surprise I found from you. The day she was born, you gave Mom flowers with a card that said "She looks as beautiful as her mother, congratulations! I love you, Dennis"....... I will give it to her since you wont be there. I know you would've brought her flowers so I will bring for you with this card. I love you Dad. You should be here. It's just not fair!

When will I stop crying Dad? Maybe it's when I stop looking for you in a crowd......told my students about you today at work and started crying. When I hit a home run during P.E. one of them said "Miss Lilly, how did you learn to bat like that?" I told them how you use to round up all the kids in the neighborhood and take us to the elementary school at the end of our street and teach us how to play (because their parents worked weekends) and you wanted them to stay out of trouble. I told them that you & I coached Gabriel & Matthew's T-ball team together when they were 5. I'm so grateful for that experience Dad. Dad, The pain of losing you hurts me so much still. Desi's baby is due in a couple of weeks. I have a surprise for her from you....just something I found special from you to include you in that day for her & baby Mariah who won't know you until Heaven. Kiss, kiss & a sip of coffee. Muah! -Princess L

I miss you Dad. This is where I come to vent, to talk to you......you would think this is silly :) Everyone is doing alright. We are all happy and healthy. More and more time goes by now without tears, unfortunately we are numb sometimes. I'm still angry that your gone, angry that it happened this way, happened so soon, that you were so young......watched Tombstone the other day, it was bittersweet....."I'm your Huckleberry!"...."Meet me at the old oak tree, don't be late" xoxoxoxox

Happy Birthday Dad. It's your 2nd birthday in Heaven and that still hasn't gotten any easier for us. We miss you as much today as if you had just passed on to be with Jesus. Mom was set to retire from the post office today, on your birthday, which we thought was so cool, but she is putting it off for a few months. The boys, meaning my brothers are having the hardest time coping with your loss. Maybe that's because us girls cry when we need to, and bake your favorite foods to remember you, or host a party in your honor with games, great food, and good friends....mostly because you loved parties and get togethers so much. I miss the little things the most Dad....the card games, the cups of coffee, the pranks, the endless conversations about any and everything, taking the kids to a ballgame, or the movies, or fishing..................The fact that the boys (your 3 grandsons) never will go camping with you at Lake Cachuma hurts so deeply at times that there are not enough tears to cover that sadness. I will take my students to Special Olympics in 2 weeks and that reminds me of the foundation Give Kids the World at Disney World that meant so much to you. I wish you had more time to give to those kids, a piece of yourself, your heart, that would make them laugh and feel better. I miss your laugh. Today I can't promise to not shed tears throughout the day, as I miss you & remember your birthday.....you would've been 56. We will eat pizza & cake and try for the kids sake to be happy....can't help it Dad, we miss you too much. love, Princess Lahoma Jean - the Jelly Bean Queen

Missed you last night Dad. A year ago tonight, we were in the exact same spot (at Tresa's playing games) and we all remembered playing with you (the same game) and you were all that was missing tonight.....Chris still cheated, Tresa couldn't stand losing, Mom was too tired to even come, and the kids were off doing their thing.....missed your sense of humor & your laugh. It's 5 days shy of 5 months that you passed. Life hasn't gotten any easier living without you or feeling the pain of your loss. This is the only place I can come to tell you how much I'm missing you....wish I could've seen your face as you bit into the brownies I made for the party last night & told me "these aren't fit for hogs!"
