Dennis Haapakoski Obituary
Dennis was born on July 28, 1952 in Phillips, WI to John and Eileen (Antonia) Haapakoski. On August 21, 1976, he married Janet Lynn Hapka. They raised four sons; Jason, Jeremy, Jesse, and Joel in South Milwaukee, WI.
Dennis had a passion for the outdoors. Hunting and fishing were his favorite hobbies. He was also an avid sports fan, cheering on his beloved hometown teams: The Milwaukee Brewers, Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Bucks, and the Admirals.

He is survived by his wife Janet, his four children Jason (Sadie) Haapakoski, Jeremy Haapakoski, Jesse (Terry) Haapakoski, and Joel (Sarah) Haapakoski, and his four grandsons, Joshua, Jordan, Jax, and Myles.
