As Shakespeare penned centuries ago (among the gems for voicing by Hamlet), there is a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. For those who devoted much of their time on earth making the world and their small or large corners in it better places for having lived, the providence in their passing brings particular sadness. Our good neighbor and dear friend, Dennis, was one such man. He had a heart of gold and crystal clear voice that carried to the heavens, probably heard at the Pearly Gates long before he arrived. After a full, rich and long life he left on his own terms in the embrace of those he loved and who loved him most. Our loss pales in comparison to that of his wife, Janet, son, Dennis, Jr., his daughter in law, Daphne, and his beloved grandchildren, Samantha, and Savannah. However, as Dennis would have wanted, we only hope we can help lighten the load of his family’s grief knowing that others shoulder a small part of it. The image of Dennis zipping around on his golf cart, popping over to check on us or stopping along the fenceless border for a friendly chat, offering unsolicted aid, and sharing pearls of practical and uncommon wisdom will always occupy a special place among fond memories. Dennis will be sorely missed but never forgotten. Jeff & Joanne Klink
