Dennis was always ready with his extensive joke repertoire and never missed an opportunity to orchestrate a practical joke. He participated actively with his children and grandchildren and never missed an opportunity to cheer them on. Dennis was a social butterfly and could get anyone’s life story within a few moments. Those who knew Dennis knew that his world was held together by his family and his magnets. Dennis and Maxine enjoyed their trip to Italy. Dennis loved seeing the Coliseum up close, said it was the most amazing thing he had ever seen. Until we meet again Dennis/Dad/Papa”THIS IS REALLY LIVIN”.
