Yes Ken, it is for sure. Beyond what I know personally, it has been confirmed by several relatives of his.

Thanks Bob, I appreciate the follow up.

Dennis was well loved by many of us here on the forum. He had just finished his restoration on this truck and was so happy to take it to his first show. I can't imagine what put him in this situation, but it is tragic.

I understand you might be tempted to make negative comments considering how this ended, and police officers lives were at risk. In respect for his friends of the forum, I ask that you please keep your posts positive.

A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)

Very sad. I dont know the complete story, but from the few times I had met Dennis, he had mentioned that before he was married he had issues with drugs, but he had been clean. I saw him at the salvage yard about a month ago and he was acting like he might have picked up old habits.

RIP Dennis
