Dennis was an avid golfer and any chance he got he would play a round of golf. Every place he was stationed, he had his golf clubs and he would hit the links. One of his favorite spots to golf was the Elks Golf Course in Sandpoint, Idaho. It was only nine holes, but he liked the course and all the people he had an opportunity to play golf with.

The following have all preceded him in death: his parents; his grandparents, Ray and Ione Ries, and Roy and Alpha Rhoads; his uncles and aunts, Lyle and Betty Rhoads, Eddy Rhoads, Dale and Mary Rhoads and Leonard Rhoads, and Norma and Larry Jahnel; and by cousins Brandy Rhoads and David Jahnel.
