Dennis and Jane were my second set of parents. I spent a lot of time with them and I will always cherish those memories. Dennis was always busy doing something (flying, boating, building a boat) He even took my kids flying and let them do the junior pilot program. Always a smile and a kind word. He will be greatly missed. Love always Jo Sokolowski
I first met Dennis when I was a chaplain for the Tacoma Police Department...sometime around 1972 or so. He was in the hospital and I went to visit him. There I also met Jane. We found that we lived only a few blocks from each other in NE Tacoma where our church was.
That began a long time, many years friendship. We boated with them on the Snuggle Bunny, traveled with them on Christmas outings, enjoyed their company and developed that life-long...to this day friendship.
It was my privilege on many occasions to visit Dennis in the Hospital, pray with him, offer him comfort in his illness and share my faith with him.
He retired from the Department, got hired on as a Baliff in Superior Court, then as a JA in Judge Stone's court room. He later offered to job share with my wife Judi. She was hired and our friendship was deepened as they shared a job together.
We counted Dennis and Jane as good friends over our life time.
God give you peace Dennis!

Dennis and Jane were very dear friends for many years. He and I had both lost a loved one with cancer. Our friendship turned into support and our support turned into sharing. I will always treasure the memories of our sharing because it helped us both put our lives back together. We shared our families and our friends. We did sight seeing, we took an Amtrak trip through 28 states, we took many tours and cruised to Hawaii and Alaska.
Rest in peace Dennis, you are now with Jane which was always your final wish.
With much love and condolences to the family! Karen VanDruff
