Condolence: Having just learned of Dennis' passing, I want to send sincerest condolences to all of his family and many friends. Dennis and his brother, Ronnie, were just amazing friends to my brother, Russ Cody, before he died in 2012. I'll never forget the love and friendship and just being there when needed they gave to Russ. Dennis was so very proud of his wife, daughter, her husband, children, and the rest of his family that you could hear the smile in his voice when he talked about them. He loved life and lived it to the fullest. He will be missed by many.

Condolence: Melinda, I am so very sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Condolence: Roger and Ellen:
Sorry for your loss of a Brother. Our prayers are with all of the Family.
Glenna & Cliff

Condolence: Sincere condolences to Dennis' family.
Death of the flesh is temporary. Eternal life awaits. Dennis had a deliciously wicked curveball; could make right handed hitters knees buckle; i know, faced him enough as well as a great teammate. Tremendously gifted in many ways; genuinely a nice guy, great competitor as well!!

Condolence: Melinda, I was so sad to hear of your father's passing. My thoughts and prayers are for you and your family. There is Victory over death. Love Pam

Condolence: My prayers and thoughts are with your family at this time.

Condolence: I am so sorry for your loss, not knowing Mr. Pugh myself I can only imagine the type of loving father that would groom such a hard working, compassionate and giving leader that he left behind in Melinda. I am thankful for his legacy as she has become a mentor and leader for me.

Condolence: I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Dennis and the special athlete that he was in basketball and baseball. I remember the good times we shared working together for a couple of summers way back in the day. He will be missed. Roger, Ron, JoAnn, I will be praying for you and the family.

Condolence: Ron, JoAnn, Rodger: Very very sorry for your loss of your brother -- I am thinking of you and praying for you all that you'll find the strength and have the support that you need for this very difficult time. Please remember "the Lord is close to those who are broken-hearted and crushed in spirit", so while you are hurting, you have so many thinking of you and, above all, Him to go to with your grief. With deepest sympathy ~

Condolence: Friend, teammate, great pitcher. We should all be so lucky as to live life to the fullest the way Dennis did. Everyone he touched came away happier. Great story teller, singer, husband, father, and brother. Wicked slider. Dennis was one of a kind and will be missed.
