Dennis had a love for the land and took great pride in farming it in the Tn of Hubbard. He was a farmer through and through. Many memories were made on the farm with his children that they will cherish forever. Dennis enjoyed listening to polka music and could be found in the summer at the Iron Ridge Picnic listening and dancing to the bands. Anyone that knew Dennis knew he loved to talk. He had the gift of gab and would strike up a conversation with anyone he met. He also loved a good bargain. The love Dennis had for his family is his legacy that will live on through future generations.
