After leaving the service, Dennis joined The Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers Local #1 and worked as a Master Bricklayer until he retired. Dennis loved tinkering on cars. His family referred to him as a “Junk Yard Dog” because of his frequent trips to the local scrap yard to gather parts for one of his many pet projects. In retirement, Dennis was always on the road. He liked visiting friends near and far. Dennis never met a stranger and seemed to know everyone. His family reports that he put over 300, 000 miles on his well-maintained Pick-Up Truck.
