Art: I think one of my first dates with Dennis was a double with you and Dianne...to a drive in movie of course. We both remember so many fun times getting rowdy and laughing together with you two.
We are sharing your loss and sorrow.

My sincere sympathy to Kutnink family. I used to work for Kwik Trip in Winneconne and Dianne was one of my favorite customers. I had known Dianne for 14 years and enjoyed seeing her whenever she came into my store. I will miss her dearly.
