Dennis never met a stranger and had friends everywhere he went. He trained cutting horses in the 60’s and 70’s and won the World Championship Appaloosa Performance Show in November 1967. He also placed third in the Texas Paint Horse Club Maturity cutting on Chief Tecumpseh in 1967, and numerous other shows.
Dennis was an outstanding husband and friend, dad, and grandparent. In his later years he worked for the Texas DHIA from which he retired. Then he went back to work for The Dairy Farmers Association out of Sulphur Springs, Texas. He had a Mobile Dairy Classroom, and took it to schools, fairs, and anything pertaining to kids. This was very important to Dennis to inform the younger generation where milk came from. He worked until 2014 when he retired due to health reasons.

Dennis will be sorely missed by all that loved and knew him.
