He worked in the area at many grocery stores and later had a Brownberry Bread/Thomas English Muffin route that he shared the stale with the community. Dennis sold that route and was hired by Eagle Snacks and later Hostess Co. His all time favorite job was being a bank courier manager in Grandville responsible for numerous routes and employees for ten years. Economy forced him into an early retirement. Dennis had a deep love for his family and friends. To meet him was to be considered a lifetime friend and he enjoyed reminiscing whenever the opportunity arose. He was an avid birdwatcher and has numerous bird sightings on his lifetime list. He also enjoyed reading books and usually had a couple of books reading at the same time. Another enjoyment he had was playing baseball and modified softball. After he quit playing in his 50's he ran Delton's modified softball league for both the men's and women's teams. His dogs were very special and later in life he enjoyed walking them. With his last lab, Baxter, they walked almost five miles every day. He was a die-hard Tiger fan and went to quite a few of the games. He loved road trips and antiquing for unusual items. His favorite trip was taking the entire family (16 members) on an Alaskan cruise in July 2019. Surviving Dennis is the love of his life, Janis Gail Williams Campbell, who he married August 12, 1979.
