Dennis was one of my closest friends...We met back in 1991 when he was with the 30 years of rock and roll....He was always kind..and to be quite honest, he may have possibly been my only friend when I lost my other best friend to an anurysm back in 96, he talked to me for hours every single day and let me cry to him..he kept me from taking my own life a number of times. I will always miss and love him dearly!

I have been aware of Dennis Noto from when he was with Cannibal and the Head Hunter, In Fact was very much aware of all member of Classic Rock All Stars, In 1999 I moved back to the east coast , did a craft fair as a jeweler, Classic All Stars were too, Couldn't believe i was sitting ten feet away from these great musicians, have the double CD w autographs, was thinking do these people realize who is on this stage, tks all the Great Tunes, Peace, RIP

Dennis, I never knew you, although been singing LOTD for years. Awesome band you had with All-Stars. You would have been proud to see them (Heroes of Rock) play at Raley Field in Sacramento, CA on July 25, 2009. You and your bass were sorely missed by all who knew you. May you rest in peace and your family find comfort.
