Dennis loved MSU and Bobcat Football, (GO CATS!), and sang and played the guitar in many Bozeman bars and Stacy’s and he could really dance. Dennis enjoyed hunting and fishing, including several trips fishing in Alaska.

Dennis will be remembered for his kind, big heart, his infectious laugh, and huge smile. If you hear “A White Sport Coat and a Pink Carnation” or “Way Up North” or find yourself standing around a tailgate at a Bobcat game, think of Dennis.
