Dennis M. Loy, age 81, passed away on Monday, November 27, 2023, at his home in Hobart, Wisconsin. He was born August 9, 1942, in Harvey, IL to the late Martin and Eleanore Loy. Dennis graduated from Thornton High School in Harvey, Illinois, with the class of 1960. He attended college at Northern Michigan University in Marquette, Michigan, and then earned his master's degree from Michigan State University. He married Diane Rhodes on June 19, 1965.

His career began as a teacher in the Green Bay schools, and he was also the coordinator of the driver education program during summers. He left teaching to pursue a career as Safety Director at Schneider National before going to Marsh & McLennan.
Dennis had a passion for fishing, which he shared with family and friends over many years. He also enjoyed traveling, spending time with family, his church, and many friends. Dennis was a loyal fan of the Green Bay Packers and invited many friends and family to Lambeau Field. Dennis was an active volunteer for a variety of causes that were dear to him, such as: fishing with clients from Aspiro, a center for disabled individuals.

I thought I would share with you a little past of Dennis when he was the Industrial Arts Club President. The photo shows the Group and Dennis when he kept his hair cut in a flat-top.

Dennis and are were the same age, started our careers out together attending Northern Michigan University, we both took similar classes in Drafting and Desing while trying to attain our Bachelor´s degree in Industrial Education. We were starving students, fishing buddies and accomplices in speed races on Hw 41 in his scooped up Mercury `54. Yes, he got the state patrol ticket for speeding. We graduated together in 1966, and yes he and Diane married and had parties in student housing. We fished Teal lake, got wet bodies because of getting that right fishing angle. Dennis was one of the few people to come to Spokane and stay with us in the early 2000´s. We stayed with Dennis a few times as we would fly into Green Bay on our way to Marquette. I am very saddened by Denney´s passing, and hope all his family will remember him as the great man he truely was.
