Born in Erie, Pennsylvania, Dennis carried his roots with him throughout his life. He proudly served in the United States Army and later worked at the VA Medical Center, continuing his commitment to supporting fellow veterans.
Above all, Dennis will be remembered as a loving father who put his family first. His presence in their lives, in both simple and meaningful ways, will remain with them always.
He is survived by his devoted wife, Deborah Marie Dore; his sons, Theodore and Timothy; and his daughter, Lisa. He also leaves behind three beautiful grandchildren, along with extended family and friends who will carry his memory forward.
Though Dennis is no longer with us, his memory will live on in the hearts of his family and friends.
