Mr. Dennis Murray Bissell

Born on November 24th, 1945 in Escanaba, Michigan, Dennis was the second of four children born to John and Alicia Bissell.

Dennis joined the U.S. Air Force and served in the Vietnam War. , Later, Dennis became a Municipal Bond salesman, working in Winston-Salem, NC and Chicago, Ill. He was a loving, caring and extremely humorous friend and father. Known for his “type-A” personality and sharp wit, Dennis made friends easily.

He is preceded in death by his parents.
