He was raised on their farm west of Dayton, Iowa, and graduated from Dayton High School in 1961. He attended and graduated from Buena Vista College in Storm Lake in 1966. In the fall of 1966 he began his teaching career at Ar-We-Va Community Schools, Westside, Iowa, where he taught junior high and high school social studies for 36 years.

In 1990 he was selected to receive the Taft award as state junior high football coach of the year. He was inducted into the Ar-We-Va Wall of Fame in 2003. Dennis enjoyed officiating high school football. During his 26 years of officiating he and his crew were selected to officiate three state championship games and the Shrine All-Star game. In 2010 he was inducted into the Iowa High School Athletic Association’s Officials Hall of Fame.

A loyal Hawkeye fan, he enjoyed watching the Hawks on TV and occasionally in person. He especially enjoyed attending the Outback Bowl in 2008 and the Orange Bowl in 2010. He loved to golf and was an avid Packer fan. Dennis and Connie also loved to travel making multiple trips to Las Vegas, Osage Beach, and several cruises. They also traveled to London with the youth basketball team he helped coach.

Preceding him in death were his parents, a sister, Lisa, brother-in-law Delos, father-in-law Wallace and several aunts, uncles, a nephew, grand nephews, and cousins.
