I was introduced to the Spencer family when my best friend, Jane married Kenny Spencer. I didn't really get to know Dennis until 10-15 years ago. Very quickly I found out what a character he was. Most times a visit to Arkansas included dinner with Keneita and Dennis, which meant the teasing would begin. Of course it was always good fun.

To all the family who love him so much, I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Cherish the precious memories you have of this special man.

Much love, Linda

Kenieta, I only found out today of the passing of Dennis. Since I have moved I don't hear about these things until later. Dennis was always a favorite cousin of mine and my mom and dad were very fond of him. May God hold you and your family in his caring hands during this difficult time.
