Dennis was a bundle of knowledge. He was an avid reader and enjoyed learning and informing himself about everything. His passion for locomotives and tractors was contagious.
As a young couple starting out Gail and I lived in Marathon (1976) Dennis and Clara came to visit. One day during their stay I watched a great big RV towing a Jeep behind and told Dennis; wow look at that, I will never be able to afford that, not even the Jeep they are towing. Dennis turned to me and told me what my father should have taught me… ‘’ with time Roch, you will. You’ll be able to afford all of those things if you keep working (the way you are now) you will. I will always remember his fatherly advice. Another thing Dennis taught me was, while working on one of many, many project we worked on together is: ‘’ before you start working on anything YOU NEED A PLAN’’ That also stuck with me.
I’m very sad to see you go Dennis but also very happy that your suffering is over
Bon voyage
Roch
