As many of you will know Denis was part of a regular Friday night trash talk doubles game at the VLTBC that includes such immense names as Mike Dodds, Marvin Mazinski, Chris Wallace and yours truly as regulars.
Friday last we had our first game without Denis and a new tradition was commenced. With your permission we would like to introduce the "missing player formation" in memory not only of Denis, but other notable names like John Burris of local fame and for those with a more national flavor, Alex Ducas.
The "Missing Player Formation" consists of an upside down beer mug framed by a salt and pepper shaker in a notably masculin form, placed conspicuously in the middle of the beer table post game and remaining present until the last party leaves the table.
I can promise that the "missing player formation" will be displayed at every friday night trash talk game at the VLTBC hence forward and I would encourage everyone to join us in memory of our fallen bretheren who were taken from us living life to its fullest but too early for the rest of us.

Brad - I can speak on my brother's behalf that Alex would feel that the "Missing Player Formation" would be fitting to relish on those AMAZING shots and plays from that Friday matchup as well as reflect on those "moments" from the past, both on and off the court, that we shall never forget. And with Denis' personna, there were quite a few of those moments. Alex would have loved to share in these reflections with FULL beer mug in hand as tradition would have it.
