He is survived by his brother Ron, and wife Gail Sperb, His sisters, Janene Finn, Pattie Boelter and husband Stan, Debbie Father and husband Brian, 13 Nieces and Nephews, his son Brian Sperb, Daughter Melissa (Lawson) Reeves and husband Landon, Two Granddaughters, Savannah and Brianna Reeves, and 7 Grandsons, Maverick, Harlan, Zaden, Xander, & Ryker Lawson and Beckett & Phoenix Reeves.

Dennis graduated from Brookfield High School in Brookfield, WI and although he never attended an official college, he was trained and certified and even went on to be an instructor in the hydraulic tool industry for Enerpac, for over 40 years. He worked his way up the ranks at Enerpac and became a Regional Territory Sales Manager. He was #1 in sales more years than he wasn’t and took pride in his job, sales abilities, story telling, and support of his customers. He was what they call a traveling salesman back then, and worked remotely from home before that was even a thing. In his 20’s he moved to Dallas/Ft.Worth, Tx where he met his bride of 44 years, Barbara. They had 2 children, and built their home in Arlington in 1979. Dennis went on to retire early after his company was sold to a competitor, and resided with his wife in their lifetime home together until her death in December of 2019.

Dennis enjoyed vacationing in Wisconsin with his family over the years at the Lake, watching the history channel, telling jokes, taking naps and Xanax (he would laugh at us saying this) and frequent trips to Sam’s club. He was never much for hobbies, but he loved shooting the breeze with anyone that would listen. He was quite the character to say the least. He was a son, a brother, a husband, a father, a loyal friend, and more than anything in the world, He Loved being a grandpa to his 9 grandchildren, who were his absolute reason for living. He is loved Deeply, and Missed Greatly.
