Very sorry to hear of Dennis's passing. I knew him intermittently in the early Magic the Gathering days in Rochester NY, and you will have to forgive the following memory... but it's all in good memory for me. I (Don White) ran independent tournaments, apart from official DCI tournaments for around 3 years +. (They never gave enough prizes, but I tried!) 1994 to 1997. We met perhaps for the 2nd or 3rd time at my very local tourney (Upstate Events) in North Greece at a forgettable store, but I knew who he was. For fun he proposed a match, but my means and experience paled to his, so I counter-proposed a 'commons only match'. Which I won. Believe me, my Kird Ape deck winning was a lucky but memorable moment in my 'Magic Life', and in all times we spoke, he was always nice. He gave me one moment of greatness, in the game, which mattered for zilch compared to his career in the game. I am just plain lucky, to be able to talk about that day. He called me the 'perennial trader', and I'm sure that anyone reading this and knew us in the day may have a few blanks filled in... questions answered.... Anyway, this was all I knew of the man, but I testify he was a nice person to know, and that he had a smile that brightened the room. God bless to he and his. Sincerely, Donald L White.
