Dennis was an outstanding mentor to many, and a consummate friend to all. His passion and dedication to road safety, not only to his employer and industry clients, but also to members of the council of industry persons tasked with the same basic job function was endless. Whether an executive meeting, full assembly, or a council function, Dennis was always one to step up to the task at hand. Dennis will be truly missed by all of those in our membership that had the privilege to know and associate with him.
We wish you all the best. May the many cherished happy memories help you through these difficult times. The roadways and the workplaces are in a much better space, thanks to Dennis. RIP Friend!

Joe and Rose ButtigiegKathy, our deepest condolences. Dennis was a good friend that always found the time to share a laugh. He was a good man, and he touched many lives, including ours.

Out thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God grant him eternal peace.
