Dennis loved travelling, live theatre, good books & movies, music, days at the cabin swimming, boating, snowmobiling, fine wine & food, and spending time with family and friends. His Christian faith shaped his life and he dedicated decades to multiple church ministries such as Cursillo, bible studies, vestry, missions, & conferences.
