These are just a few of the words friends and family used to describe
Dennis Lalor who passed away at the end of August. I knew him as a
friend, neighbor and occasional drinking buddy. In researching his past
for this remembrance, I came to see many other facets of his complicated
and extraordinary life. I will miss my friend, Dennis, dearly.
