The oldest of 5 children, Dennis loved life and made the best of it at every family gathering. He retired from Caption Call in 2017. In retirement, Dennis and the love of his life, Sheryl, were able to make a dream of Dennis’ come true when purchasing a home at Sandy Pines Recreational Community, known as his "Happy Place."  Being at Sandy Pines brought Dennis so much joy and peace, especially being able to share it with his kids and grandkids. Dennis enjoyed golf, the game of pool, and football. He was able to share his loves with his kids and grandkids by teaching them all he knew. A favorite activity for Dennis was his annual Father’s Day family golf outing at Sandy Pines with his kids and grandkids. He often called it "Steak and Scramble." Another love of Dennis was the game of pool. Dennis taught his son this love and continued to teach his grandkids this love as well.
