He served in the Vietnam War until he was injured, returning home, but serving in the Army Reserve until his honorable discharge on July 18, 1974. During his tenure, he earned the National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, and Combat Infantryman Badge.

Dennis was the second of three sons born to Ed and Donna, who preceded him in death. He is also preceded in death by his older brother, Darold (Gloria), and survived by his younger brother, Bill (Carrie) of Slinger, WI.

He enjoyed being part of the community at Sunset Homes in Stanley, WI, and a regular at The Hill House, until his health made it difficult for him to visit his friends there.
