Kirby Pines Retirement Community | The Pinecone

The Pinecone | February 2024 • 23 • I have known Dennis for a little while now. He Volunteers his time everyday. I do not know a day when I have not seen him walking the halls (or more like almost running the halls) delivering mail and packages. He is very motivated, friendly and always smiling. Way to go Dennis. Keep up the good work. We love and care about you. What would we do without you? - Linda Case Kirby Pines Superman Dennis! You are our “MOST”. - Lois Dazey One night I awoke at 3:00 am and heard heavy footsteps in the hall for several minutes. Feeling somewhat alarmed, we determined that it was Dennis delivering mail to all of us. What a servant! - Marilyn Sanderson To Dennis: Thanks so much for bringing our packages to us (and with a big smile too!!) - Paul and Pat Nave Thank you for delivering packages and mail to us in the “big house”. Also, thank you for all you do to make the garden great! - Jane Longfield Dennis,You are such a blessing to Kirby Pines for delivering our packages to the front door of our apartments. That is just one of the many volunteer jobs that you do for Kirby Pines, and we want you to know we appreciate you. - Jane Hodge I really like Dennis. He is a hard worker. I have become a real friend to him. We should all thank him for his work. - Bill Douglas Dennis, I've only been here a few months, but you stand out as someone I look forward to seeing---always a smile, always a cheerful greeting. Thank you for the tremendous work you do! I love you, as do all residents at Kirby! Hugs, Marilynn Garzione Santa chose the best of the best to help deliver gifts to the residents of Kirby Pines! Thank you,Dennis. - Jean and Mal Mauney There are folks whom you’d consider yourself downright lucky to have as a friend. Dennis is one of those; never a user, always a helper, and highly considerate of the feelings of others. When people he knows are sick, he always remembers to ask how they are. And, if you find yourself with a task requiring 3-hands, you can count on Dennis to be that third hand! My only fear is that he may one day be sued by the letter-carriers union. For my part, he could teach them a thing or two! - Steve Tittle Dennis, thank you for your dedication in delivering packages to my door weekly. You do it with such Grace and never grumble about the amount of packages you deliver each day. You are a gem. - Laura Leuenberger Dennis, You are such a blessing to all of us…just going about doing good deeds with no fanfare. We thank you and appreciate your gentle spirit of kindness. - Carolyn Hladky Thank you, Mr. Postman, for your many hours of delivery. Together with your many hours in the garden you make Kirby a very special place! - Paula and Chuck Hanson Thanks for your help Dennis! - Barbara Worrell Dennis is kind, considerate, inquisitive, thoughtful, sensitive, helpful, a good friend, one who served us and our country in the military, generous, caring, religious, short (like me), has a big heart, invaluable to all at Kirby Pines and lovable and I do love him.The list is endless of the people he helps. Again, we ALL love you. - Sydney Wagner We are so appreciative of Dennis bringing packages to us in the I Building.
