Dennis loved many fishing trips to South Dakota and Canada. Every hunting season was an adventure and was usually prosperous. He enjoyed being with his grandchildren fishing and hunting, especially setting them up in the windmill down on the other farm. In the later years, Dennis went to several auctions in South Dakota and was known for supplying many with round balers in the area. You could find Dennis and Mary under the tree in the backyard in the evenings playing with the cats and visiting with family and neighbors that would stop in.
Dennis bought the farm in rural Fall Creek when he was 17 years old where he and Mary dairy farmed until 1972 and then cash cropped and had beef cattle up until his passing. He also drove semi over the road and would tell stories of the different routes he would take and sites he saw. Dennis also was known for taking stumps out for people around the area. In his spare time, Dennis traveled the neighborhood to see what was going on and offered many suggestions of how things should go or be done.
