Is that Skillet that was a member here with that handle? What happened?
Sorry to hear of his passing.

Although I never met him, he was a friend of my friends and that's enough for me. RIP Dennis

Sad news indeed. Seems like just yesterday Dennis was a very actice member at the site. I always liked reading his posts.
My condolences to his family and friends.
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

I met Skillet the first time at the 08 GA Rally. He was a good sort and was quick with a laugh, a smile, or a story. RIP.

Sad indeed. I still use his "pool room slaw" recipe that he gave us several years ago. I'll have to make up a batch in his honor. Rest in peace, Brother. I know where you are

Condolences, and respect.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

Very sad news, indeed. Wish I had gotten to know him better. I was hoping I would have had the opportunity to ride with him seeing as how he was only a couple hours away. I'll try my best to meet up with him on the "Streets of Gold". RIP Dennis.

It has been a very rough year for the ba.com family. I'll bypass the cliches that could apply here and simply say live my friends. LIVE. Ride safely everyone.

This is sad news. We rode together from one of the Ga rallies and we met in Tennessee before another one. He was a good ole Alabama boy and like Thom said had a good sense of humor and friendly manner. RIP Dennis.

Shortly after I joined BA.com we had traded some PMs about meeting up; he had spent some time in the area on jobs, but it never worked out. So sorry to hear of his passing.
RIP Dennis.
