Just heard today that Dennis had passed away. So very sorry to hear this. He was a good friend to my husband Wayne and I. He did our financial work at the dairy and we became good friends. I always enjoyed visiting with him and listening to him talk about his interest in civil was re-enactments and history in general. Sending my most sincere condolences to his family. Dennis was a great man.
