Oh my. I’m sorry to hear this. Dennis was a great guy and he played a mean bass guitar. I sat in numerous times with him playing behind me with Blues Handle Band. RIP as Dennis Dailey and give Matt Morrell a big hug from me.
Dennis was not only a great cop but a great musician and movie director/ editor. He will be missed.
My deepest Condolences! I am so sorry to hear Dennis passed! I’ve had a lot of fun playing with a GREAT bass player and FRIEND! RIP Dennis, you will be greatly missed!
Dennis was a great policeman, musician and a true gentleman. He was a great partner to me as a young police officer back in District One in the early 90s. I will forever be grateful for the video he put together for my sons wedding!!! He will truly be missed. May he Rest In Peace
Our thoughts and prayers are extended to Sandy Dailey and the entire Dailey family.
Dennis and I worked on a few of film projects in the early 2000’s. As an Executive Producer he was generous, patient, and always good-humored. He also had some great connections throughout the city. And he loved adding to his collection of editing equipment! Simply a wonderful person to work with. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
I played with Dennis in the Blues Handle Band. I loved him as a person and a musician. He was as professional as he was proficient on his instrument. I will miss our times of playing together and kidding each other. He was a great sport. Tell Matt Morrel I miss him, too.
We can’t beleive it Dennis.. What a shock… RIP buddy.. TOM & SHIRLEY SCHILLING
I am so sorry to hear about Dennis passing away. He was a great bass player and all around musician. I felt very fortunate that our paths crossed and that I got to play some gigs with him. He was a great guy and very knowledgeable about any topic that came up. My deepest condolences go out to his family and all of his friends.
Very sorry Erin, Paul Jr, Tyler& Nick. And to the entire Dailey family. It’s so hard to loose our loved one, as a lot of us know. But know that he’ll be watching over all of you! He will always be your protector, inner strength, and playing beautiful music forever.
I’m so very sorry that you must be separated from your dear father, but trust that it is only temporary. His arms are waiting patiently to be filled once again with your love when you and he are reunited in Our Lord’s house. Please take care.
You are in our prayers, God bless, Dennis was a great P.O., a great bassist, a kind heart! He used to come in to our store years back. So very sorry to hear this.
