Dennis was a hard worker. He worked various jobs but his main employment was at the Ogden Defense Depot. Every summer Dennis grew a huge garden and shared the delicious produce with family and friends.
He was very proud of his Native American (Shoshone) ancestry. He enjoyed collecting Indian arts and crafts. He was an active member of the LDS church and had a great appreciation for his dedicated home teachers. Words cannot express the love and gratitude our family feels for our beloved husband, father, and grandfather. He will be greatly missed!
