 Dennis held many titles in his life, husband, son, brother, friend, from artist to entrepreneur, but his favorite role was being a Dad. He loved nothing more than spending all his spare time with his family. Dennis and his wife Tracy were together for 29 years. His family was his greatest pleasure and most precious possession. They were his favorite hobby and he took great care of them by treasuring them and being an outstanding husband, father, and provider. 

Dennis was an artist and his designs can be seen through-out Florida whether it was marble, stone, tile, or wood, it was creative and beautiful.
