To all the Noren family, so sorry to hear. He was such a great supporter of our tennis teams. I will never forget sharing a motel room with him at our State Tournament. Our long talks and playing rummy. He was truly a good man and will be missed by many.

To all the family, son's and daughters, relatives and friends of Dennis I want to send my condolences . When Dennis was a young man he traveled cross country with a friend of his and stayed for a while at our house in Seattle with Bud and Lee and we three kids. I always remembered him because he seemed to care about us and could listen to what we had to say. Also, during those days all the cool guys wore their hair slicked back with hair grease, they were so cool. I always looked up to Dennis.

Dennis was such an encouragement to us as we navigated our way to starting a dance at the Park Township Community building. He was the one to suggest starting this dance. When things were not going so well, he would encourage us and even throw in extra money to help support the effort. We saw him do things like that for others also. It seemed like he couldn’t help himself in encouraging others. It was natural for him. Our hearts and prayers are that God would give you the grace, mercy and peace to get through this loss. We will miss seeing you,Debbie, doing the Argentine tango on the dance floor with Dennis.

My condolences (and those of my sister, Gayle) to your family and friends. I had the good fortune of becoming acquainted with Denis at the Congregational Church and by working odd jobs at his home - raking, composting, painting, scrubbing and maintaining the boat. It was always a pleasure to go to his lovely home and to work under Denis's kind leadership and demeanor.

Sarah and family, I’m so sorry to hear of your Father’s passing. I remember him fondly as a huge supporter of our Highschool tennis team. Pulling up to our matches in his red pickup truck, and always there with a high five after a good match. He was a good man, I’m sure you have many wonderful memories.

Dennis and Debbie shared such a passion for ballroom dancing and I'm heartbroken for Debbie, friends and families! Dennis's smile and elegance is a great memory! Prayers for His Loving Arms to hold y'all always and give His amazing comfort!
What Not Inn was always a fun place to spend time on a Sunday for an evening of dining and good entertainment. Dennis would call and say “we are going to What Not if you want to join us”. There were so many times like this over the years. Most included dancing as that was Dennis’s great love. He was our dance ambassador. Always encouraging people and offering to teach them a new pattern. I enjoyed working side by side with Dennis on planning committees for dances over the years. He always had great suggestions and ideas and knew how to get things done. There is no doubt that Dennis is now dancing with the angels with that wonderful smile on his face. I will see you again some day Dennis.........save me a dance.
On Tuesday Morning March 24th my heart was broken into a thousand pieces of my Dads passing. My Dad meant the world to me like no one else could. Words like patience, caring, commitment , understanding and giving name a few, but can t due justice to my Dads amazing human qualities.
Often Dad would lend a hand and give advice to me in the wood shop of which sometimes I would not take and do it my way. Dad would then see that and humbly move on to the next project not upset. Dads unconditional love for his family members was always there never wavering .
I was honored to have spent the last week of of Dads life with him. He seemed at great peace with God, the current affairs of the world, and with himself. I was the luckest son in the world. May you alway rest in a place where peace passeth understanding.
I love you yesterday, today , tomorrow , and forever. I miss you.
