His loving parents, 9 siblings, and 15 nieces and nephews meant the world to him. He admired the kids so much and looked up to them and all they accomplished in their lives. Dennis also loved his many cousins in Illinois, Arkansas where his mom grew up, Oklahoma, and elsewhere. He loved his Swiss cousins and he met and became good friends with many of them through the years. He loved and was loved by his loyal dogs Sober, Razorback, and Blue.
