Dear Jeremy and family, I’m so sorry to learn about your dad. I know from many years ago how you valued your relationship with your dad. He was taken so young. My heart goes out you. My deepest condolences to you all. You will all be in my prayers. Sincerely, Jane Butler
Many of us who were privileged to go through school in Detroit Lakes with Dennis and graduate as his classmates in 1966 remember him as one of the most affable chaps in the building! Life inevitably has its ups and downs, but Dennis evinced an ability to bounce back from adversity and be a blessing to many other souls. May he rest in peace and his memory live on among his loved ones.
Our sincere condolences to Pat, Shauna and Jeremy. We are very sorry for the loss of Denny and will be keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers. We will remember Denny for being a good entrepreneur & salesman, and for being a kind man who was very dedicated to his family. – The Altepeter Family
I never met Mr. Walstrom but I have seen his traits of hard work, trust and loyalty in his son Jeremy. Working alongside Jeremy for many years, you knew he was raised the right way. They say an apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, so I assume the Son is a replica of the Dad. Our sympathy goes out to JW and the entire family. Kim and I will keep you all in our prayers in the days ahead. Lyn and Kim Goldston
