Sad, and quite unexpected. I thought that he had overcome the health problems he was having.


As did I. Very sad news indeed. Condolences to family and friends.

He told me he had two heart attacks and he dont felt well.

It was a pleasure to know him and i can call him my friend.

Rest in peace Dennis.




With each crime and every kindness we birth our future.

Knowing Dennis, he enjoyed his little skirmishes on the boards. :o)

If you're out and about today and you find yourself in a bar serving this..



Dog's favourite beer, raise a glass or two in his honour...



I will do, Keith
It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

Dennis DogBytes was a good friend to me, ever helpful, one of my first moderators on SETIsupporters and it's successor. He always gave useful advice and council, and I'll miss him a lot. Cheers Dennis, for all your help, your humour and your friendship.



You have mail.


I will continue where I left off, in honor of Dennis.

Oh my...
My sincere sympathies to family, friends...

I knew DB very little, but what I did know of him was entirely positive, strong and true.

Farewell, Sir.

Dune Finkleberry sent his condolences also

From Dune:

I've been in shock over the passing of my (our) friend Dennis Peters AKA DogBytes. I'm still coming to terms over his death and am saddened to hear this news.

Dennis was a straight shooter, who will be missed by myself & others. No words can convey my sadness. So to those who knew & loved the guy, I wish to convey my deepest condolences.

May I echo Tim's comments from this side of the pond, and the many friends he met and knew.

I can't even begin to describe how sad i am about this news. Dennis was one of the kindest people to post here on seti. He never held back an opinion..his straight talking was often outrageous and hilarious. He bought real life to this message board and I know we shall all miss him. I remember when he was made a mod and I thought "oh my..this will be interesting" but he took it really seriously and tried so hard to be fair do a good job. It was a proud time for him to moderate the board where he has made so many good friends. Friends who he took the trouble to meet in real life. He stayed with us for Christmas a year ago, I am not sure he got over the shock of my kids...he wasn't a kid person :D but my son was sad to hear about his death too. He said "even though he was grumpy I still really liked him" I know that he was in a lot of pain and discomfort even then. I can't say how much he will be missed. There just aren't the words.

I'm guessing that his previous health problems played a role in his passing? Pretty sure he was a smoker and I am trying to quit right now (I'm having a lot of trouble with it, has a real hold on me), maybe he can remind us to try and take better care of ourselves so we can be around for each other in the years to come?

Love and respect to you all,
Paul
