Dennis was a parishioner and former board member of the United Methodist Church and also served as a St. James Alderman.

Dennis is survived by his mother Ruth, daughter Shelly Murray of Fairfield, Connecticut, her husband Mark and four grandchildren; his brothers and their spouses Nick and the late Linda, John and Candy, Mike and Cindy, his sisters and their spouses LaNora and Don Boggess, Jean and Ronald Brooks, Pauline Michels, Kathy Steen and many nieces and nephews.
