To the family and friends of Dennis, I am saddened to hear of his passing and I will always treasure his (and Betty's) memory. I met them when I was a teenager and was working the starting line at the Gainesville Raceway and we instantly became friends. I remember helping out at the 76 station at 34th and University and riding with Dennis in "Bertha" helping him with tow calls. Dennis loved racing and he helped me build the engine on my first race car. My fondest memories though are of Dennis and Betty treating me as one of the family when I became a GPD officer, often making sure that I was fed during my shift. Dennis was the definition of a true gentleman who was always willing to help anyone in need and he will be missed my many. My condolences to the family who has lost a great father, grand father and great grand father.
Sincerely,
Dale Nylander
