He was predeceased by his parents Emanuel and Laurina Krauss. Dennis was born on November 30, 1943 and raised in the Longfellow area. He worked for Deluxe Central Cabs until his MS no longer allowed him to and he retired in 1998. He believed in the MS Society and was an active volunteer for the organization. Dennis had a love for birds and filled his yard with bird feeders and enjoyed sitting on the deck waiting for them to visit. He loved being outside! Dennis and Judy would go on their scooters for miles and just enjoy being together. Dennis’ greatest joy was being a Grandpa. He never missed a moment that he could share with his grandsons and was so very proud of them. We will miss him dearly!
