Dennis worked for me at BF Goodrich for many years and I was very fortunate to be his Supervisor. He was not only a good worker but I counted on him a lot for assistance with interpretation of union issues. He was also a good friend and will be missed. RIP MY FRIEND

I am so sorry for your Loss. This is a Loss to all of Northport. Dennis was one of the few good guys and was liked by everyone.
I had just spoke to him the day before his death and this is quite a shock. You can be proud of all his work from his Union Days all the way to his Political career. He was always doing something for his district. He was always talking about his Grand Children too. You have my deepest sympathies. Rest in Peace Dennis you will be missed deeply.
