I worked with Dennis at Rocketdyne. He returned from retirement to assist in re-writing the standard operating procedures(eSW) for Engineering. He was a very humble man and will truly be missed by his Rocketdyne family.
May Good Memories and Time heal your loss. My deepest Sympathy to the whole Arnold Family.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I'm really sorry to see you go way too soon. I really appreciate all the good times we had at Adelphia: softball, golf, cigars and of course football. You were very much loved by many and will never be forgotten. God Bless!

I sat with Howard on train 115 from L.A... I just recently met him and had allot of funny good conversations with him. The story that stands out to me the most is when Howard had to come to work on a Saturday to teach a class. He asked his Boss if his wife can come stay with him and get a Hotel for the weekend. Howard said he had a great time with his wife, Dinner and a Bottle of wine. He loves his Family vary much. Ill Miss you Howard. A TRUE AMERICAN YOU WILL BE MISSED

Kari was one of my really good friends. lunch was always a blast. our own little group was always so fun, even though Kari would rather do homework than talk about girl stuff. we were still trying to convince her to go to prom with us, and now she will never be able to experience that small luxury that we all take for granted. Kari was a gorgeous girl who had a quick tongue who always spoke her mind; and thats what i completely loved about her. Kari had so many plans for her future and did everything to help support her family. i hope i never lose a close friend in my life, because the pain i feel right now and will always feel for the rest of my life, is unbearable. my love goes out to Kari's family whom i never met, but have grown to love from Kari's stories. there will not be a day that goes by that i will not miss my friend whose life was taken way to early. she is now our radiant angel who will always be watching over us. i love you Kari, and im sorry i never told you that. i will miss you so much and your kindness and personality will live on through my children. i hope you know that your friendship is what made my life whole.

I lost track of Chris for a little while after he left Adelphia. As for many of us, it was sad to see him go. It was sad because Chris was the light in everyone's heart. His sence of humor was the best and in all the business inter-actions and challenges at Adelphia, he always found a way to resolve them. Chris was funny and a straight shooter he told it like it was.

The last time I saw my dear friend was at the entrance of the Catholic Church in Camarillo. He greeted me with that big smile even though, that it was under sad circumstances.

Chris, as you know, my family and I are praying for you and your family (Sharon, Katie and Sammie). We are praying He will welcome you with opened arms. I will also pray that when I go, you will be there at the entrance to welcome me again.

Take care, my brother and friend in Christ.

I played music with Dennis many times over the years.
His group was the Antique Music Company.
You could not meet a more friendly person with a wonderful
family.
I can still hear his Spanish Ballads and Sea Chanties.
He will be sadly missed, and well remembered.
Adios Amigo.

Was a student of Paul's from '92-'96 at Grace Brethren. He was/is a great man and am sorry to see that he is no longer with us - lot's of memories and pictures to hold onto though. My family's prayers go out to Karen, Devon and the rest of his family. I think about him often and I can honestly say that he had a profound positive impact on my academic career. You will be missed.

Keep in mind
  • The Times initially mispelled the name of Michael Hammersley and Beverly Mosley.
  • The coroner's office reported a 26th victim the afternoon of Sept. 15, but a few hours later said the tally was 25.
