DAN DENNISApril 18, 1945 - September 16, 2011

Dan Dennis passed away unexpectedly on a Friday night,after loading his truck for the Springfield show and grilling

steaks for he and his beloved wife, Vicki. We have a feelingthat Dan would have said that he passed the way he had

always hoped - doing the thing he loved, with the person heloved. We can’t remember an auction that Dan missed, and there is no doubt that his friends at Garth’s will miss

his friendly smile and great stories. While we are proud to handle fine examples from Dan and Vicki’s collection, the

moment is bittersweet, as we mourn the loss of a dear friend.
