I am so sorry for your loss. I was a student of Mr. Together when he taught me in Youngwood Elementary in 6th grade. I wanted him to be my teacher bc I heard he was the best 6th grade teacher. He was the best teacher. He taught me about everyday life, morals and compassion. He had a great sense of humor. May God wrap His loving wings around him.

I taught with Dennis at Youngwood Elementary and later Stanwood for several years. Our sixth grade teams of Dennis, Bill, Michele, Russ and I will always bring dear memories to me. What a pleasure it was to know Dennis. He was a man of kindness and integrity. Though I first knew him nearly fifty years ago, my heart still warms when I remember him. May God be near his family as they grieve his passing.

I am so sorry to hear of Dennis's passing. I worked with Dennis at the Food Bank down in Smithton before we moved out to Mechanicsburg. Such a great guy. I will keep your family in my prayers Diane.
