He was baptized and confirmed at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Manilla. Dennis attended Manilla Community Schools and graduated with the Class of 1968. While in school he was an active member of the football, basketball, and baseball teams. Following his education, he enrolled in barber school in Des Moines for a short time before returning to Manilla.

Denny married Sally Ann Van Scoy on July 7, 1973. The couple made their home in Manilla. Sally passed away October 31, 1976, due to injuries sustained in a car accident. Denny was united in marriage with Janette Huelman on July 12, 1980, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Manilla, Iowa and they recently celebrated their 42nd wedding anniversary.

He especially enjoyed his role in the communications committees with Farmland and meeting people from different Farmland plants from across the states.

In his spare time, Denny enjoyed bowling, golfing, shooting the BS at Primetimes, sports of all kinds, murder mysteries, and the Hallmark Channel. For several years, Dennis announced the high school football games. He was an avid fan of the Cardinals and Cyclones. He cherished time with his family, especially supporting his daughter in sports and school events, watching cartoons with the grandkids, and golf cart rides with Kyler and Kazic. After he got into his smartphone, Dennis loved getting pictures of his grandchildren.
