Every summer was spent at a beach either in Florida or South Carolina. His favorite was Fripp Island in SC where he would spend hours searching for interesting shells. Dennis also had Bengals season tickets and would take turns asking various family members and friends to go with him to games. Even though he had Bengals tickets and followed them since moving to Cincinnati, the COLTS were his all-time favorite! This year he attended the first game at their new stadium and has attended as many games as his schedule would allow during the eleven years his family has lived in the area. Another favorite pasttime was boating. He enjoyed going to the Brookville Lake and spending the day with his family, in-laws, sister-in-law and her family, and brother-in-law and his family.
