"I spent many a night at the Durham house playing the old vibrating football game for hours, we also went to school together for many years, played basketball and football together. My wife Dianna Pulford Davidson was also a friend to Dennis, we both relay our condolences and prayers for the family. You will be missed by many.

"Dennis was my "choir buddy" in high school. I remember him as a kind young man with a gentle soul. I'm sure I speak for his Jonesboro classmates that we are all so glad that he married happily, and had a beautiful family. He was a good friend.

"Durham Family, Saddened by the passing of Dennis. I was associated with Dennis, his brother Ronnie and their parents during our Jonesboro school days as youths. My most sincere condolences for the family in the passing of Dennis. Ron Faulkner

"Ron, I am sorry for the passing of your brother. May God's Peace help comfort you and yours during this difficult time.

"I was friends with Dennis in school, but lost track of him until we returned from Viet Nam. We were there at the same time and same base, but did learn of that until we met up after our return. At that time, I ran into Dennis and we hung out together, until I left Jonesboro. But, my memories of Dennis are wonderful-he was always a fun guy to be around, with a big heart, but good to engage in serious conversation with, as well. My condolences to his family--Dennis-rest in peace my friend-you are heaven' s gain.

"So sorry for your loss. Have y’all in our prayers.

" We are so sorry for your loss. When this happens in our family we need more than human strength. God and his Son can provide what we need. Please review these scriptures : John 5:28-29 “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.” Revelation 21:4 “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes,and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

"You're in my prayers Mavis. You know it's so beautiful there. Wouldn't you just love a peek at the reunion? So thankful next time we see him, we won't ever have to say good-bye. God bless you & those you love. Jo & Mike

"Thatcher & family, I am very sorry for your loss. My Grandpa Ware died when I was in 6th grade, too, so I can empathize with you at this time. May your sorrow be replaced by your special memories of the times that you spent together. Sincerely, Mr. Ware

"Love you Aunt Mavis. Prayers for you and Tim and Jason and those Grand Babies.

"My sincere condolences to Dennis' family. I don't think our paths crossed after high school, but darken the hair and remove the moustache and it is clearly the Dennis from then that I see in his photo. I can even imagine that mischievous grin on his face. May Be comfort and bless all the family and friends he left behind.

"Love and prayers Mavis and family. So very sorry!

"Will be missed

"So sorry for your loss, RIP Dennis, may God grace be upon your family.
