• A true friend in every sence of the word, who would give you the shirt off his back. Whether you wanted or not. The only person that really lived up to that billing. Heaven is a better place - Posted by: mike mikolajczyk (friend) on: Mar 19, 2013

• To the Duarte family, my deepest sympathy and condolences, my prayers are with you all. I Knew Dennis (crazy Dennis), as we all called him, from my early teens and we shared some pretty good times, whether it was at the Portuguese Private Clubs, or at the bars, he was always there for you and had your back at any given time. Dennis, you're in a better place now, may the Lord welcome you with open arms, GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND. - Posted by: Joe Cordeiro (Friend) on: Mar 06, 2012

• My deepest condolences to my Tia Laudalina, Melissa, Phoenix, Dennis partner Shelley and his daughters. My fondest memories of Dennis were back in Portugal when we were kids...I always hung out with my older brothers and cousins. We saw him years ago while he and Titia visited Toronto and he was such a kind person and the biggest of smiles always on his face. He is in a good place and in God's hands...xo - Posted by: Adriana Fernandes (cousin) on: Feb 29, 2012

• My dearest condolences to the Duarte family. My most fondest memory of Dennis is when I was a teenager and how I learned of this guy called "Crazy Dennis" and after seeing him drive his white and black Camaro Rally Sport, I then knew why they called him that. Thanks for the memories, you truly were one of a kind. Your presence within the Aguiar family will always be cherished. Francisco Aguiar - Posted by: Francisco Aguiar (Friend) on: Feb 29, 2012

• I will always remember Denis... When I was 14 I was going to a social With Alfred Santos and my sister Jennifer I was shy and nervous about going and Denis said "come ride with me!" when I walked out to his car if remember correctly it was a white trams am I told him "this is my first time being in a race car!" he had a smile on his face ear to ear and let out a little giggle turned on his stereo and blasted techno!! He was such a sweet man. I am so sorry to everyone for their loss. - Posted by: Rochelle Bailey (Family friend) on: Feb 28, 2012

• Our sincere condolences to Dennis's family. My Dad had the pleasure of sharing a room with Dennis this past January. Although Dennis was dealing with some very serious health issue himself,he was always so concerned for my Dad and our entire family.Even in my Dad's final days,when my Dad was moved down the hall,Dennis would come visit my Mom and check up on my Dad. We were always appologing to him for being so many in the room and he always said "Your Dad needs his family by his side,".I can only hope that Dennis had family by his side. My heart goes out to his daughters...I know what it's like to loose a Dad. - Posted by: Mona (My late father,Fred,shared a room with Dennis at HSC this past January. ) on: Feb 25, 2012
