Dennis grew up in Charlottesville, Virginia where he started his working career helping his father in the paint department of the University of Virginia hospital. He then attended barber school where he found enjoyment learning the art and trade of cutting hair. He worked in local barber shops for several years cutting hair and making friends all over town. One of his favorite things to do in his free time was giving haircuts to his closest friends and family. Dennis later worked as a tradesman for local contractors, property management firms, retiring from the University of Virginia after 26 years of dedicated service in the medical center with Facilities Management.

He enjoyed the simpler things in life. Spending time with his family, sitting on his deck watching the squirrels and deer steal all the bird food from his bird feeders, talking to his neighbors, striking up a conversation with someone walking by his driveway or enjoying a cold beer with anyone who would drink one with him. He was a devoted friend, father, husband, brother, uncle and grandfather. He was loved by many and will be dearly missed.

Visitation for friends and family will be Saturday July 26th, 4:00pm – 6:00pm. Memorial service to immediately follow at 6:00pm at Teague Funeral Service Chapel.
