Dennis lost his life in a tragic auto accident in '69 during our senior year. The accident occured near Lancaster only 1/2 mile from home. Linda and he had been talking about marriage after High School and she was devastated by the loss. I think of Hymie as an example of only the good die young. He has been sadly missed by family and friends for 40 years. RIP
I grew up with Dennis in my classes at Dupont School..he was always joking with us..I remember in the 5th grade he took my purse and I chased him, resulting with me falling into a mudpuddle, so soaked the principle had to take me home to change my clothing...I could always talk with Dennis...he was like a brother to me growing up..his older brother was a friend of my older brother's Terry...I will always remember his laughter and his smile.
Dennis, what a great and wonderful friend. Dennis and I started first grade together, at good ode Dupont. Not only did we spent our schools day togehter but summers too. Dennis was the kid brother every one should of had the opportunity to have. My mind is full of so many memories of Dennis, and us growing up together. You never seen Dennis without seeing Darrell Gayle too; the two of them were inseparable. What a shock it was to found out he had been killed only a few days after graudation. That was the toughest funeral to this day I have ever had to face. We didn't just lose a class mate we lost a soul mate. His contagious personality lighten the heart of so many who had the honor of knowing him. Although he is gone to this day I can still see his mischievious grin and hear his laugh.
