Mr. Dennis was a member at Asbury United Methodist Church for 26 years and enjoyed attending the men's meetings on Saturday mornings. He was a good provider and looked for ways to make extra money for his family. He loved to roller skate when he was younger and enjoyed watching roller derby matches. Mr. Dennis was an avid fan of all sports teams. His interests were collecting antiques and other items, dining out, fishing, swimming, and pool parties with the margarita machine.

Mr. Dennis is survived by his loving wife, Nancy J. Dennis; sons, George V. Dennis III and wife Lora, William D. Pennington Sr. and wife Bonnie; daughters, Maryann Marvel and husband Randall, Michele Baranowski and husband Michael; sister, June Marie Wilson and husband Charles; 13 grandchildren; and 12 great grandchildren.
