What a "good & faithful servant of the Lord" for (32) years, a "true American hero," & a "good & decent human being."

I cannot think of anyone that I have known in my (63) years that has touched more lives than Fr. Dennis. He was truly an amazing individual with charisma; no one in my lifetime will ever & ever be able to compare with him.           

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that on the morning of 9/10 the good Lord wrapped His arms around Fr. Dennis & welcomed him into Paradise at His heavenly banquet forever as well as commanding him as Cmdr. Dennis J. Rocheford (USN) to guard the "pearly gates" forever!!

 It was extremely difficult & painstaking to say "goodbye" BUT we all know that he is FINALLY "at peace" with the Lord which he so richly deserves; no more "inner demons, pain, nightmares, torment, etc." to deal with on a "daily basis." 

No one will ever know what this man experienced & had to face "head on" since he enlisted into the United States Marine Corps right out of high school in 1967. 

May he "requiescat in pace" forever & "Semper Fi", Padre!!
