On Wednesday, August 23, 2023, Dennis age 73 of Pittsburgh passed away. Survived by his two very close friends Mike McStay and Shawn Conley. Dennis was very smart, witty, kind, and so giving. He made you feel special and was always helping people in need, especially Shawn’s family. Dennis was a fantastic dresser and a wonderful cook. Some of his talents included, singing, calligraphy, and poetry. He could fix anything, described as a “creative handyman” or “MacGyver.” Electrical, plumbing, upholstery, mowers, cars, a never-ending list. He could fix it all. Dennis had a lot of gratitude in spite of a horrible childhood, and many major surgeries. Professionally Dennis had a very unique and colorful career. From becoming a Pittsburgh Press Sports writer as a teenager , which then lead to a close friendship with Willie Stargell, to owning the West Mifflin Beer Distributer, and then founding his own energy company EnergyTech. Dennis served two tours in Vietnam with the USAF as a Sgt. Flying Medic, being awarded the NDSM Medal (National Defense Service Medal).
