Though I'm many states and years removed since the last time I had the privilege of Mr. Santoro,s presence. He was my soccer coach and my best friends father. Many fond memories will stay with me from those earlier years in life, Dennis's sense of humor, helping with sidewalk sales at the Den on Main Street etc. .
With that said my most sincere and heartfelt condolences to family and the friends of whose lives that were impacted just by knowing the man. Peace

Grandpa Den, I feel honored and blessed to have had you In my life. I will hold you in my heart and remember all the wonderful times we had together. You were a constant in our lives, someone we could count on always. We were lucky to have you. The readings you gave at my wedding will always remain one of my fondest memories, among countless others. I'm so thankful that my children had you in their lives. I hope you know how much you are loved and missed. It doesn't feel real that you are gone. It wasn't your time, it was too soon. :( Rest in peace and watch over us. We love you!!!
