Dennis was born May 4, 1941, in Revillo, SD, to parents Nalford and Leona (Bublitz-Hartsel). Later that year, they moved to a farm near Altamont, SD, where Dennis grew up and attended school through the 8th grade. He then attended Clear Lake High School and graduated in 1959.

During his retirement years he worked part time for Tom Dinsdale Auto. He was also active with Kiwanis Club, serving on the Board of Directors and as President, and Habitat for Humanity, serving on the building committee, can recycling committee, and as President.
Dennis enjoyed fishing, gardening, traveling, and playing cards-especially 10-point Pitch. He also loved Johnny Cash and ice cream, especially Freddy's turtle sundaes.
