Dennis volunteered for the Central City Fire Department for 40 years, and on the ambulance service for several as an EMT. He was a quiet man of few words, never spoke ill of anyone and loved his family unconditionally. Dennis loved to fish and spend time at his cabin in Guttenberg with his wife and family. He enjoyed old cars, Harley-Davidsons, a margarita with his friends Jan and Mike, and spending time with his grandchildren. He was a lover of all animals, especially his dogs, Cinder and Ella.

Dennis is survived by his wife of 60 years, Linda; daughters, Kimberly (Rudy) Morales of Tulsa, Okla., Deb (Randy) Bickel and Brenda (Bill) Harris of Central City; grandchildren, Nick Payne, Anthony Morales, Raven Morales, Miranda Tumilty and Sammy Harris; three great-grandchildren, Ava, Karley and Coraline Payne; brother, Jim Farrington; and sister, Susan Harkness.
