Lisa,
My heartfelt condolences over the loss of your husband, mate, partner and best friend.
I recently retired and wanted to get back in touch with Dennis to see what he was up to and, sadly, found notice of his passing. Our last communications were about his music and him starting up a website. He was so excited about sharing his music with the world. At that time I was also finishing a book for publication, so we had similar goals. Deeply saddened by his loss, I regret all the intervening years in which we could have stayed in touch. He was a good friend and business partner.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and yours.
Scott Robert Scheller

Lisa, I think about you and Dennis often since the 1990’s and so I searched the net last night and unfortunately found Dennis obituary. Your remembrance is lovely, I know Dennis loved you so much. I greatly enjoyed my short time working with Dennis, he was amazingly talented, out of place almost in a smaller media market like Fresno. He was a great chat, knowledgeable in many subjects, with a good sense of humor. I would have liked to have kept in touch and I am sad to find out he is gone. God bless, I am sorry for your loss. Scott

Thank you for your kind thoughts Scott. It was nice to know you had been thinking of Dennis and attempted to look him up. I hope you are doing well and enjoying life. Grieving Dennis' passing was the hardest thing I've ever had to experience. I've come through it stronger than I ever thought I could be. Letting go and living in the now is quite the journey inward. I know you understand because you lost your father suddenly. Late last year I met a very kind and gentle man who makes me laugh and look at life as a new beginning every day. Dennis told me to "enrich myself in the now." To honor him and myself, I'm doing just that. God bless you Scott. If you ever run into the rest of the Online Production guys, tell them Dennis is smiling down at them all!

It's been a little over a year now since you set yourself free my love. Though I miss you being here with me in body, I feel your presence here with me. So many inexpiable synchronicities have occurred since you left your body for me to ever doubt your presence. It is so comforting to know you watch over me and all your loved ones here on the physical plane. I know I must go on and learn a new way of living out the rest of my days with as much love and joy as I can. I am and I will. Little bits of joy are making there way into my life as time moves on. Our dogs and Family bring love and joy to my life. Taylor and Sugar Bee love you and have not forgotten you. Be joyous, peaceful and filled with God's love, sweetheart. Thank you for all the signs you send letting me know you are here with me. I got your message that you are going to be there with me when I cross over! Thank you honey. I love you and I always will.

So sorry to hear about Dennis. He worked with my brother David Hall, who also unfortunately passed away too soon in 2005. I knew Dennis in the 80's. Again, my condolences to you Lisa.

Thank you for your kind thoughts Lynn. Dennis thought about you and considered calling you to say goodbye. He decided against it, saying he did not want to upset you by saying hello and goodbye all in the same moment. Today, was his birthday and I miss him so very much. I know we both loved him very much. He was an amazing person. I feel his presence here with me and it gives me so much comfort. I'm so glad you wrote in his guest book. I know Dennis is happy you did too. Blessings to you.

Lisa, I did not know Dennis like my David did, but I do know he was very talented, creative, and a best friend to David. His passing is the world,s loss. Here,s a quote from the book, Illusions. This comes from David. "Don't be dismayed at Good-Byes. A farewell is neccessary before you meet again. And meeting again,after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends. I love you, Lisa. Thank for all your support and thoughts. Bye for now. Doris

Thank you Doris and David for the beautiful quote from the book Illusions. It is so true. We will all be together again. Truth be told, we are all together now. It is just that you and I, Doris, are still on our journey in this illusion while Dennis and David completed their journeys. We know they are here with us, we are not on our journeys without our beloveds. In spiritual circles, it is said that only A THIN VEIL separates Illusion from Reality. My goal is to YANK THE VEIL AND THROW IT TO THE GROUND!!!!!!

Even though it was Dennis who taught me everything I know about computers and the Internet, I feel odd posting a condolence on line. Dennis taught me more than computers, he taught me about real love and compassion. He was a truely loving, forgiving, understanding and compassionate person. He was so talented in many art forms, creative in thought and deed, so open to life and it's wonders...just so in love with life. That is why it it so difficult to imagine him gone (in body, but not in spirit). I am happy to know he found love and great happiness in his life and he felt at peace when it came time for him to go. I will miss him greatly.

Lisa, our hearts hurt for you!
Dear Uncle Dennis, It has taken me a while to be able to write something here on your memory page because I still find it very difficult to comprehend that you are no longer physically here with us. You were not just my uncle; you were like a big brother, an older friend, a person I looked up to, and respected. I admired your very intelligent, questing mind, and enjoyed listening to your many thoughts and ideas. You will be greatly missed! From your nephew,Jeff. Also Michele and Tamberly

Thank you for your beautiful sentiments about your Uncle Dennis. Dennis loved you all and your visit at the end of his life was so uplifting and healing for him. You all gave him energy and strength to stay a little longer. He truly and deeply felt the love you had to share with him. He had so much to share and he so loved to be able to pass on some of his insights about life. Bless you all for the unconditional love you shared with him and with me.

It was such an honor to meet and spend time with such an amazing couple. The love that Lisa and Dennis have is very rare to find. I can see where Tim inherited his uncles loving ways. The short time we had together will forever be etched in our memories. I pray for the families strength and ability to get through these tough days ahead. May the sunshine and rainbows pour into our hearts.
Much love to My amazing Aunt Lisa and Uncle Dennis.
Much love goes out to My amazing husband Tim. I am so greatful he was with Dennis and Lisa for the last couple of weeks. I am blessed to have such an amazing family. God bless us all. Love you all very much

Dennis and Lisa moved in to the neighborhood the same year we did. We came to know Dennis over the years, the intellect, the musician, and the friendly neighbor. We always loved Dennis's humor that went into his song writing. He had the great ability to listen to people and pick out a certain characteristic or saying and put it in to a very clever song. He had a green thumb, loved to plant and made a beautiful park out of their property. He was a man of many talents and will be greatly missed.

My uncle Dennis was an amazing dude. A man of integrity, value, compassion and wisdom. Being able to spend the last days with him and watching him suffer with pain, while still hanging on with a positive attitude. It was an honor and a gift to be with him. He will be greatly missed and respected for who he was. Now pain free and effortlessly rocking the heavens with family and friends. Fish on

We were "over the fence " neighbors. Dennis was always willing to lend a hand. We appreciated his mowing the grass when surgery prevented us from doing so. We kept in touch via waving and our love for each others dogs. Dennis seemed quite knowledgeable on a lot of subjects.. We will miss his intelligent contributions to our "over the fence" conversations. We will miss his cheery waves of greetings.

It is difficult to write adequate words for my sweet husband of 26 years. I feel such a great loss. He had a brilliant and creative mind and I benefited greatly from his logic, compassion and ability to simplify and solve situations that only perplexed me. I miss him so deeply. He was my friend, my confidant and the love of my life. He took care of me all our life together and even when he was suffering and dying from cancer he was driven to make sure he handled all the things I would be totally at a loss to handle. It was an honor and a pleasure to take care of him in his illness and finally his last day. I cherish the great love we shared and loving talks we had, especially the last few months we had together. His compassion and insights he shared with me in the end about how I should carry on and not dwell in the sadness too long will forever be a comfort. He was and will continue to be a beautiful treasure in my life.
