He was an amazing man. Brilliant mentally, compassionate, a friend that anyone would want. And the toughest nails negotiator in business, who made enormous amount of money by helping individuals incorporations grow and grow and grow.

He was a tremendous competitor. Nobody ever did it better, and both clients and employees are now faced with life after Dennis hold.

Before he leaves a gaping hole in the marketing landscape and a host of friends and a family grieving.

He truly was iconic; one of a kind; and amazingly perceptive.

May God rest Dennis´s soul and comfort his loved ones. Amen.

There´s only one DFH. They should name the block between LaCienega and Alta Loma on Sunset for him.

He was the best.

Dennis will be sorely missed! He always treated everyone he met like they were the only person in the room. We had a special bond and I am a better man for it.

Much love to the family. Dennis was a grand personality and a huge asset to Kresser/Craig for many, many years. He introduced me when I was a kid to Perinos . The beginning of so much more. Jean Craig

Dear, sweet Brooks and Ashley, my heart is breaking for you as you endure the loss of `the amazing Dennis´. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. He was such a lovely man and always enjoyed teasing me about my southern accent. I will miss him. Please stay in touch.
Much love, Teresa

I send my condolences and Brooks and Dennis´s fabulous family. We first met and started a friendship and working relationship that lasted until now. We spoke a few months ago and I look forward to the annual holiday cards. "Uncle Dennis" will be fondly remembered and surely missed by all who knew him. His little black "Rolodex" book must be enshrined in the Advertising Hall of Fame. Bon voyage, dear friend.

TO Brooks, Clay, Alexis & Ashley & all the kidlets: I send hugs & a thought,
nothing earth-shaking but simple: although we've lost Dennis' presence on
earth, we've gained an angel, for surely he'll be granted that status upon his
arrival in the hereafter. I like to think of him looking down on all of you &
smiling, knowing you'll all be together someday.
All good thoughts to you & hoes that your grief will be tempered by the know-
ledge that you had the great gift that was Dennis in your lives.

Sending love to you all,
Carol Gwenn
