I also was blessed to have Mr. Babcock in school. He was phenomenal, quick witted, inspiring and encouraging. Definitely a man who made a difference in many lives. A lesson he leaves with us is never be afraid to ask a question. There are at least 5 others around you who are thinking the same thing. I think he stated 'There is no such thing as a dumb question'. He leaves us with more than just a calculus education.
It is with great sadness that on behalf of The Arc Muskegon, The Arc Michigan
and the many people with developmental disabilities in our county he helped through his service to both organizations, we extend our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Dennis. It was a privilege to work with and to learn from Dennis.

What a great teacher and civic leader. A great loss to all, especially his family. Thinking of the Babcocks today.
Dennis and Judy were great neighbors and he will be missed very much by many R.I.P Dennis and this isn't goodbye this is until we meet again in paradise.
I wish to express my deepest sympathy in the loss of Dennis. He was a person so involved in the lives of students and the community. I was overwhelmed reading his obituary and you must be proud of him and he will be missed. I have many fond memories of our time together on the Muskegon County Republican Executive Committee.
May you find comfort in your treasured memories.
A family man and educator who loved his county and always wanted it to succeed. He did his best to make things happen in Muskegon.
