November 11, 2019 at 4:07 amTo the family of Dr. Dennis Sasaki. So sorry for the loss of your husband, father, grandfather, brother etc. I worked with Dr. Sasaki at Turlock Dental Arts for 15 years. He was a very quiet and kind man. I’m so happy that I did get to visit with him for a few moments this summer when I was visiting in Turlock in July and I was able to visit two other Dentists from TDA at the same time. I have lost two of my coworking Dentists since that visit. I fell like I have a broken heart from these losses. I have many cherished memories from the time I worked with them. Take care Elaine & Cheryl and the rest of the family. RIP DS. God bless all his family & friends with strength & courage during this difficult time due to the challenges of loosing a loved one.

November 5, 2019 at 12:13 amI was a classmate of Dennis’ while he was at Cal. I still value the friendship that he extended to me at that time in our lives. After Cal, we went on with our lives and only after our working careers did we resume our friendship. It was clear to me that he had great satisfaction in his family and in his career. I am very sad to lose his friendship. My condolences to family and friends.
