God Bless the Rector Family. I am proud to have known and worked with the Rectors at Dupont for many years. I was proud to know and met their whole family. So sorry for your losses. Life always seems to throw us some curves. RIP Dennis your memory is still in our hearts and minds.

Mr and Mrs Rector did an absolute fantastic job raising they´re four sons. I´ve had complete respect through the years working with and being friends with all of them. Although Roger and I didn´t know each other, I´m sure he was as well thought of and respected like his brothers. I´ll miss you Dennis! Thank you for everything you did for me through the years. Heaven will love having you there.

To the family of Dennis I am saddened by the loss. We all worked at Dupont for many years and had many good times together. Dennis was a good man and co-worker. My condolences to the entire Rector family.
