Dennis enlisted in the Navy in 1962, with a willingness and desire to serve his country.

Throughout his career, Dennis worked for several years as a mechanic at multiple companies.

Dennis loved his dog, Toto, and had a knack for tinkering with computers. He also enjoyed watching True Crime TV shows in his free time.

A small family Celebration of Life will be planned for late summer/early fall to honor Dennis's memory.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests contributions to be made to the animal rescue of your choice, as he was very fond of dogs.

We extend our deepest sympathies to the Loughery family during this difficult time. May Dennis's memory be a source of comfort and strength for you all.
