About the Mission:
The family of Dennis L. Wolcott III has requested Patriot Guard Riders participation in honoring his life and extensive military service.
Quoting from the Beach-Tuyn Funeral Home obituary: "Dennis was a talented athlete who enjoyed running track and playing tuba in the marching band at Kensington High School. Dennis was a proud 35 year Navy Seabee having completed two tours in Vietnam and retired as a Senior Master Chief. His dedication to his service is more than admirable and he would share stories of his friends and time in service throughout his lifetime, while also continuing those relationships with his military brothers to continue honoring the many sacrifices of all those that served. Dennis made a career as building inspector for the Town of Amherst from which he retired and enjoyed his time in the company of his family and close friends."
