Dennis Gielow Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Entered eternal life on September 25, 2023 at the age of 77. Dennis was born June 8, 1946, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Beloved husband of Peggy (nee Herwig). Devoted father of Craig (Jennifer) Gielow. Grandfather of Ariel, Nevaeh, and Chelsea Gielow.
Brother of Karen (late Jerry) Jakimczyk, and Thomas (Deborah) Gielow. Also survived by numerous other relatives and friends.
Dennis was a "gearhead", a volunteer Menomonee Falls firefighter, and retired his working career as an "over the road" semi truck driver.
Riding motorcycles, especially Harley-Davidsons, was a passion for Dennis, as was keeping in touch with lifelong friends. His smile and laugh will be truly missed by all who knew him.
A private burial will take place at Wisconsin Memorial Park Cemetery.
