Dennis Stone Guthrie

was born in Bismarck, ND

to Earl Guthrie and Nellie

(Stone) Guthrie on Sep-

tember 15, 1933. He was

the youngest of seven

children. He was raised

on a farm in Surrey, ND

and attended school there.

Dennis served his coun-

try in the United States

Navy during the Korean

war. After his service

years, he returned to ND

where he met and married

Sharon Kinzell. Together

they had four children.

Dennis was a

self-taught sheet metal

worker. He moved his

young family to Loveland,

Colorado for work and

there he joined the Sheet

Metal Workers Union Lo-

cal #9 out of Denver, CO.

During the course of his

career, he worked on

many large structures that

are still found in Loveland

and the surrounding areas

today, such as the Hewlett

Packard buildings, the Ko-

dak plant in Windsor, CO,

McKee Medical Center,

Coors Brewery in Golden,

CO, and the Power Plant

in Brush, CO.

After his family was

raised, he retired and

moved to Collyer, KS,

where he spent his time

fixing up and selling

houses and properties.

His ability to build, fix or

repair anything was truly

amazing. He truly was a

master craftsman.

When he wasn’t work-

ing on a project, Dennis

enjoyed reading, Western

movies, listening to his

old record albums and

giving his grandchildren

and great-grandchildren

rides on his tractors.

Dennis lived a good life

on his terms. He will be

missed.
