Harold Dennis Obituary
He was born Nov. 10, 1947, in Columbus, Georgia, the son of James and Virginia Hooks Dennis. Harold proudly served his country as a U.S. Army veteran of the Vietnam War and later dedicated 30 years of public service as a Police Sergeant in Chicago, Illinois.
He was a member of the Police Benevolent and Protective Association, Emerald Society of Illinois, Elk's Lodge 1714 BPOE, and Moose Lodge 1953.
Harold lived in Mountain Home since moving from Chicago in 2000. He loved spending time outdoors, whether hunting, fishing (FOMF), boating or golfing. He also had a passion for history. Above all, Harold cherished the time spent with his family and friends, especially his granddaughters.
Harold is survived by his daughter, Caryl (John) Giordano of Chicago, Ill.; former wife, Estella Dennis McEvoy; brother Larry (Carolyn) Dennis of Fort Pierce, Ill.; sisters-in-law Mary Mendoza, Kathy Mendoza and Sylvia Brucker; granddaughters Reese, Angelina and Ava Gianna Giordano of Chicago, Ill.; and significant other of many years, Shirley Eaves. He was a loving uncle to many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; brother James Dennis; and brothers-in-law Nicholas Mendoza, Adrian Mendoza, and Lorenzo Mendoza.
