Richard Dennison Obituary

My deepest sympathy to Ricks family. I was given the privilege to work with Rick @Caunco. He was a great guy & will be missed by many. Always,Irene Grindle, Rio Rancho, NM

It's hard to believe that Rick is gone. He will be missed at the Class Reunion this Summer and in our lives forever forward. My prayers go out to his family and friends in this time of our loss. He was one of the good guys.

I am very saddened about Rick's passing. He has been a great friend to me since elementary school. I will never forget all the great times that we had together, especially all fun and mischief that we got into in high school. I was so looking forward to seeing Rick at our high school reunion this summer. I will miss his teasing and bright smile. I am so thankful that our paths crossed so many years ago. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.

Very sorry to hear about Rick's passing. We worked together for several years and he is part of some great memories. Thoughts and prayers go to the Dennison family.

Very, very sorry to hear this. Like several others, I was looking forward to seeing Rick again at the upcoming reunion. Perhaps we should all think about not waiting to talk to old friends.

Rick was a great guy. He will be greatly missed. He was almost part of my family since the late 70's. Along with his family, my family will miss you too bud. I will miss your banter and hard time we gave each other. See you on the other side some day.

My thoughts and prayers are with Rick's entire family during this difficult time. I have a lot of great memories of times spent with Rick in sports and especially in the mountains he loved so much. He will be missed by a long list of friends who had the privilege to know him.

Rick was a student of mine in fifth and sixth grade at Manaugh Elementary. I will always remember him as a student with a big smile and a friend to all. Larry Mooney

We are so saddened by the sudden passing of this wonderful man. We both have so many good memories of Rick. One of which was his smile. He will truly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

The MCHS class of 1976 has lost a great guy. He was one of my favorites. Always kind and lots of fun. I will always remember jeeping with him and the rest of the gang. He will be greatly missed.

I just remember Rick in about 1970. He had started skiing one year before I did. All our other friends, Randy Kirks, Russell Salters, Stuart Stroud, and about 10 others had all been skiing for years. I started and Rick sold me his "last years" gear. I struggled on Stoner Ski Mountain, learning slowly. Later that year I was on the top of Sunshine run and Rick was talking to me. There was new powder about 8 inches. rick finished what he was saying and turned and skied off. He just snaked through the powder like a cat. it was so graceful and powerful at the same time. I never forgot it. Then when we were about 18 Rick told me about falling all the way down the face of Sheep mountain. He was climbing with a couple of friends, I think Danny Cox and he looked off the face of the mountain down at Trout lake. He made a gesture like he was going to slide down the face on his boots and he slipped. He went all the way down, missing all the rocks and shot our across the glacier. He stood up and yelled to the others to follow him. I think it is about 200 feet vertical. I thought of that every time I drove by Sheep mountain commuting to and from Telluride. I might have failed to be there with him in person but Rick is always in my thoughts. I have not seen Rick in over 40 years. My fault, he was there and I was working in Telluride. It is so easy to put off till tomorrow. Well Rick I will miss knowing you are here on this earth but I will keep faith that you are still here in spirit. I will never forget you man.

You will be always be in my heart, Rick. Love you always.
