“Rosemary/Shaun/Michael - So sorry to hear of Dennis' passing. Our country owes him a debt of gratitude for his years of service to her. Rosemary - I was always impressed with how strong & supportive of a partner you were. And I know he was very proud of his boys and can only imagine how he fawned over his grandchildren. Bets & I plan to join you on Friday for the celebration of his life. With condolences and sympathy, Bill & Betsy Becker”
