Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of Dennis, who became a trusted colleague and friend during our time with the Empire State and New York State bowling associations from 2009-2020. Dennis always was willing to help out when he could -- providing valuable assistance at several state tournaments (as the bracket man) and sharing valuable advice and insight with me along the way. He also served as the board's sergeant-at-arms and as chair of the NYS Hall of Fame committee. And during baseball season, we were able to share our love of the New York Yankees! Dennis leaves a lasting legacy in the bowling community throughout the state. He truly will be missed. Unfortunately, I just heard about his passing on Oct. 6 and am sorry I missed calling hours/funeral service. May God bless and comfort his family during this difficult time.
