He loved to travel, started a small club of close friends called Liver Dinner that went on for 30 years.

He collected vinyl records, big old Buicks, loved to read, loved going to concerts, and a variety of 60s, 70s, and some 80s music.

We had a home in Florida for 10 years, for the winter months until his health started to deteriorate. He enjoyed life as much as possible.

Thank you to treasured family and friends, and Noah, Tiffany, Janice, and the CNAs at Willow Crest who took care of Dennis. A special thanks to Dean and Laurie for helping us when he was at his worst in Florida.

We must remember his contagious smile and personality

We will party in honor on his birthday, September 2nd, because of COVID 19.

He also had a group of close friends from McDonald’s.
