Dennis graduated from the University of North Carolina, was a member of the US National Guard and served his country with an honorable discharge. He met his wife, Patricia, in New York, then moved to Rockland County to raise their family and later to Manalapan, NJ. Dennis had many passions including his love of cars, reading, frogs, fishing, golf and eating. He was a loving friend and revered family man. Dennis spent his life working in electronic components and in 1989 founded his own company, Dean Technology Inc, which he sold to his son, Craig, who still runs the business today.
When Dennis retired, he moved to Boca Raton, Florida and spent many frustrating and enthusiastic years playing golf, enjoying fishing and playing with his puppies. Most importantly, he loved spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.
