Dennis was born on April 19th, 1954 in Mandan, ND to parents Matthias and Leona. He joined the Navy in 1971 and once finishing his Naval career settled in El Sobrante, CA.  In 2002 Dennis moved back to Mandan, ND where he worked at AMCON Distributing in Bismarck before retiring in 2019.

 

Dennis was a wonderful man who was loved by many.  He enjoyed spending time with his family, relatives, and friends, expanding his many collections, playing his accordion, harmonicas, and guitar, going hunting, and riding horses.  He was a cowboy at heart!  He also enjoyed the occasional trip to the Casino in hopes of “winning big”.

You could often find him having coffee and/or breakfast (The Dennis Special) at Olms Café in Mandan.  He always had a smile on his face and a cowboy hat on his head and could make almost anyone laugh with one of his many stories.  He was always the life of the party and will be deeply missed.
