On September 19, 1962, he was united in marriage with Laurie Wheeler in Shawneetown, IL. They raised their family in Addison, Illinois and later, work brought him to Wisconsin. He worked with his son, Steve, for over 15 years before retirement. He lived in Marshall until moving to Beaver Dam to be near family. Dennis enjoyed spending his spare time with his son, Dennis, working on classic cars. He liked to take rides in his ‘55 Chevy, which had much to do with his nickname, “The Shifter”.
