Dennis continued working in metal after his discharge from the Army and went to welding school at night. He has been in this trade all his life, by working in a sign shop as a supervisor, serviceman or as part-owner in a shop. Dennis is still working and doing the things he loves whether operating a 20-ton crane or getting 90 feet in the air to change a light bulb in a stadium using a man lift.

Dennis sadly lost his wonderful wife Kathy 12 years ago, but is surrounded by his three loving daughters and two granddaughters. He is a skilled craftsman working in wood (such as kitchen cabinetry) and metal (building a bridge for a close family member). Dennis survived a brain tumor in 1992 and battled high blood pressure, both thought to have caused his kidney failure. He has been reliant on dialysis since 2022 but continues to stay as active as he can and rides his Harley for therapy. With the gift of a new kidney, Dennis would love to do more traveling again and go deep-sea fishing. Some of his family members were tested to donate but unfortunately were declined. Will you join our mission to find a kidney for Dennis? Your support, whether through spreading the word on social media or considering becoming a donor, can make a profound impact on his life!
