Dennis Albrecht passed away yesterday from a long battle with prostate cancer. I had become good friends with him over the last few years. Took him out to lunch when he retired and paddled together on the Kishwaukee River. He will be missed greatly. Paddle on my brother.

Sorry to hear this. Did he live in Stockton? Always thought I should go look him up, seeing how he was close, and talk canoes.

I know the emptiness that losing someone can bring. There is nothing any one can say that brings relief but knowing others care helps.

Very sad news. I have fond memories of Dennis at the Rockford Wingnite, paddling the Kishwaukee River.

I set a goal of losing 10 lbs. this year. I only have 15 left to lose.

I told Dennis' son-in-law I was posting the information here. He forwarded on this information to me.

Dennis's wife Denise said she had a dream about him the night after he passed. She said he was paddling "into the sunset " as happy as he could be. Thought that was fitting, and it brought her comfort. Dennis will be missed around here, and anywhere he went.

Thank you all for the kind words regarding my Dad. I live in Madison and always went to Canoecopia with him. He aways wore his BWCA.com shirt and loved spotting other members wearing their gear too at the show. I lOVED going with him and will keep attending because it's a great show and great memories with him. Thank you.
