Dennis was very athletic throughout his life, and enjoyed playing basketball, baseball, and golf. Sports were a big part of his life. He was a huge Green Bay Packers and Wisconsin Badgers fan. Having honeymooned in Lake Geneva with MaryAnn, it became a special place for Dennis. He loved visiting and spending time there with his family. Dennis was above all a great father and did everything for his family. He was a strong person inside and out, and took care of everyone.
