Institute. He went on to be both a manager and buyer at Turtles Shoes at Century III Mall. He transitioned to

years with the company. He retired from US Airways in 2005. He went on to work at PRC and Alorica for the
next 10+ years as a Customer Service Representative for a variety of companies. He loved all the friendships
and relationships he made over the years through work, music, and sports. Dennis was an avid sports

Clairton little league baseball, basketball, and coaching Ashley in track and field. Dennis loved music and
played a variety of instruments, professionally as tenor saxophonist; and in music groups and his church band,
he especially liked to play drums. He was generous, good natured and full of life with a genuine heart of gold
and a story for every occasion. He dearly treasured annual beach vacations with family and a good seafood
feast.
