Dennis was born on

February 5, 1940, in Stan-

ley, the son of Ornell and

Dorothy (Dannewitz)

Danielson. He graduated

from Stanley High School

in 1958.

He entered the U.S.

Army Reserve for basic

training in Ft. Leonard

Wood, Missouri, in July

1958. He trained as a

medical corpsman at Ft.

Sam Houston in San An-

tonio, Texas. After return-

ing he entered NDSU Col-

lege of Pharmacy in Au-

gust 1959. He was called

back to active duty with

the Army just as he start-

ed his junior year in col-

lege during the Cuban

Missile Crisis. He served

for nine months at Ft.

Ord, California. He re-

turned to NDSU to finish

his Pharmacy degree.

Upon completion of col-

lege, he worked at various

drug stores in the state –

finally settling in

Bismarck in 1971.

He met his wife, Dar-

lene, in Bismarck, and

they were united in mar-

riage at First United

Methodist Church on

April 1, 1972. This year

would have marked 50

wonderful years together.

Dennis was a member

of the Elks and American

Legion. Dennis and Dar-

lene enjoyed trips to the

Black Hills of South Dako-

ta and camping in the

mountains of Wyoming by

horseback. Later, they en-

joyed trips to Branson,

Nashville and several oth-

er cities.

Dennis was very proud

of his motorcycle and his

El Camino. He took ad-

vantage of any opportuni-

ty he could ride. In the

earlier years, he loved to

golf and had a hole in one

on the Washburn course.

On any given day you

could find Dennis out in

his neighborhood walking

his dog – something he

loved to do.

He is survived by his

wife, Darlene; several

cousins; Darlene’s si-

blings, Judy (Doug) Plum-

mer, Betty (Dave)

Hochhalter, Diane (Ray)

Vick, and Al Sailer; two

nieces; eight nephews,

and an honorable friend,

Larry Vachel.

He was preceded in

death by his parents;

Darlene’s parents;

sister-in-law, Shirley

Sailer and his fur kids,

Criket and Krikette.
