He was a Truck Driver for many years. He was not only a Truck Driver but also a Bus Driver for the City of Dayton and Mad River. Dennis even drove after retiring, mostly for his family. In his free time, he loved to draw, play drums, work on cars, work out, listen to music, tell stories and especially spend time with his grandchildren. He was a selfless man, always there for those he loved, no matter how he may have been feeling. He was known for giving the best hugs!!! Dennis was also always there with words of advice and encouragement, that were much appreciated. He was one of those people you could talk to for hours. His love was deeply felt and will be greatly missed. His love affected many others, especially to his extended "sons and daughters". He thought of everyone as FAMILY!

A Celebration of his Life will be held at a later date, please check back for more information.

And in the words of Dennis, he wants everyone to know, "It's not goodbye, it's I'll see you later!"
