In addition to working, Dennis also loved NASCAR. He loved going to the races and camping out at the track. He had a deep love for anything to do with motorcycles, but especially Bike Week. Dennis loved doing things outdoors, such as barbecuing, having fires, camping, and setting off fireworks; he also was obsessed with his dogs, but most of all Dennis loved being a father and a grandfather.

He also leaves behind so many friends, to name some, Pete, the complete staff at Irving in Tilton, Donald Bridges, Sassy Connors, Myla and Max, Don Small, Dave, Michael and so many more.
