He was a member of Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church in Mahomet. Dennis enjoyed spending time with his family, and loved playing with his grandkids. He was an avid pheasant hunter, and appreciated being in nature, listening to the birds, and working in the yard. Sitting on the back porch gave him great pleasure. Boating, water skiing, snowmobiling, and snow skiing with family and friends were some of his favorite past times.
