Dennis had made his profession of faith in Christ and was a member of Park Hill Baptist Church.
He belonged to the Masonic Lodge and was very involved in their activities. He had a group of friends that he met with each week and they would go out to eat and visit. In his spare time he enjoyed being outdoors where he liked to go fishing and deer hunting. He was a very patriotic man who was proud of his nation and of his military service. His family and his friends were most important to him and he enjoyed visiting with them often.
