Janet and family I am so sorry that I have been sick and did not check the web site for a few days. Therefore I did not know about Dennis passing away until today. I just watched the video and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Dennis would have liked it as well! I have asked the Good Lord to wrap his arms around you all. Please do not hesitate to call if there is anything at all I can do 870-735-0376.
God be with you,

To the Sorrell and Chaney Families: My prayers are with each of you as you go through the loss of Dennis. I had not seen Dennis in years, but have fond memories of him while growing up in C'ville.
To all of Dennis's loved ones, we are so very sorry for this tragic loss in your family. Dennis was such nice person and always such a pleasure to be around. We know how much he loved all of you and how much he will be missed. May the Lord be with you all during this sad time.
I wanted to extend my deepest condolences to the Sorrell family at this time. Crawfordsville was a special place with special people and many memorable times. Dennis made his mark as an athlete and a friend to many and from reading these other messages, his ability to be a friend lasted his entire lifetime. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

In 2007, we became next-door neighbors. From that point onward, your kindness was beyond measure. You'd often say to me, "You're just not happy unless you're doing something." We can truly say that you were one of the best next-door neighbors we've ever had. We will miss you.
Always loved seeing his new corvettes, every year. He was, always, very nice and made me laugh. I'm very sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you.
Thoughts and prayers to the entire Sorrell family. Had the pleasure of working for Dennis at a very young age and no doubt the advice I constantly received has stayed with me. The community has lost a great man.

I have had the pleasure to know Dennis for many years. He was always there for any questions I had for City Business and was a
good friend.

I was so shocked and saddened to hear about Dennis passing away. I was blessed to work with him for many years at Bond Engineering. He was always such a kind and caring person. My prayers and thoughts are with his family during this time.
My heart goes out to those, who's lives Dennis was a part of. I worked for him 33 years ago, when he was a partner at Bond Engineering. He taught me so much about life, and how hard work, and believing in yourself was so important to achieving what you want in this world. He was a positive influence in mine...
We are so sorry for the loss of your father, son, brother and friend. Dennis was a fine man whom God blessed with many talents and a love for his family and friends. He will be missed by all who loved him.
Sincerely,
Sharon and Herbert
