For the majority of his career, Dennis was a restaurant and retail sales manager. He retired after five years as an independent operator for Bimbo Bread Company. Dennis loved sports and was a Chiefs and Royals fan. As a youngster, he played baseball and loved swimming. In high school, he was on the track and swim teams. He also enjoyed playing golf. As much as he loved sports, though, music was his passion. Over the years, Dennis sang for many area church services, special programs, and for other organizations. While at UMKC, Dennis was a member of the Swinging Choraliers, which gave him the opportunity to perform for US troops through the USO. The first tour in 1972 was the Northern Command (Iceland, Greenland, Labrador, Newfoundland) plus home stays through People to People in Denmark and the Netherlands. The second USO tour in 1974 focused on Army and Air Force bases throughout Germany.
