Dennis you are missed, although we know your love, your wife is with you now. Enjoy your spiritual days together, God has his plan.

Dennis,
I think of you so often in everything that I do. I miss seeing you and hearing your voice.
I see pictures of Ella on FB often and she is growing so much and turning into a beautiful young lady. You have given me a gift as you shared your love to a young girl so many miles away without a family to call her own; I am honored to continue in your foot steps and support her in her journey of life as she grows in the family God has provided to her at Precious Heritage.
Dennis, you put up a good fight before you left us. Now that the Lord has carried you home in his loving hands I hope your spirit flies with the Angels as the burdens of this world have been left behind.
Love you brother, deb

I'm deeply saddened to learn that Dennis has left this earth. My deepest sympathy to Carol and other members of his family
I first met him nearly 45 years ago when he was a student -athlete at Wild Rose High School, and I was broadcasting its football and basketball games on WDUX.
Dennis and I shared an interest in sports, broadcasting and photography, and he was talented in all three.
In recent years we've been able to keep in touch via social media, for which I'm most thankful.
Dennis left us way too soon, but packed a lot of life and love into those 60 years.
He and I also shared a strong Christian faith that sustained him during difficult days. He is now beyond pain and suffering, resting safely in the loving arms of his Savior.
