Dennis was my very good friend in high school. Unfortunately we lost touch after that. We frequently walked to religious instructions at St John the Baptist Church on Mondays. Back then he had to walk to school from Hoover Ave. I thought I'd check Google and see how far he had to walk home from the church back then. 2 1/2 miles - about 45 minutes! Rest in peace old friend.

Dennis was a friend that I lost contact with. I was not aware of his last name change or of his illness. It is sad that he is no longer with us.
