Dennis had a lifelong passion for technology and communication. Whether he was working on his computers, playing computer games, or operating his Ham Radio, he was always engaged with the evolving world around him. An avid reader, he spent many hours immersed in books or on his tablet.
When he wasn’t at his desk or with a book, Dennis was a dedicated fan of the St. Louis Cardinals. He was a dedicated fan who rarely missed a game, finding joy in the sport’s traditions and the spirit of his favorite team.
