Dennis Hassebroek
February 3, 1946 - April 8, 2019

Dennis Lee Hassebroek was born on February 3, 1946, in Buffalo Center, to Marvin and Margaret (Van Hoorn) Hassebroek. In 1964, he graduated from Buffalo Center High School. Then, on November 6, 1964, he married Nola Matson at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Buffalo Center.

While living in Buffalo Center, Dennis worked at various businesses including the Elevator, the Creamery where he hauled milk, for the city as a part time policeman, and as a hired man helping various farmers during the harvest season. For seventeen years, he worked with his brother Willy at J&J Livestock, buying and selling hogs. In 1991, Denny and Nola moved to Des Moines where he began working at the Iowa Pack before taking various jobs with several trucking companies, ending his career after working for twelve years for LB Transport. He retired in 2011 as his health deteriorated, and he needed a liver transplant. Otherwise, Denny enjoyed fishing, traveling, and doing woodworking projects. In addition, he liked going to Prairie Meadows. He found his greatest joy, however, in his grand kids.
