Agar on November 7, 1944, in Ann Arbor, MI, he was the son of the late Florine (Dunn) Flennery and adopted by the late Alfred Flennery in 1951. After his family moved from Michigan, Dennis grew up in Fort Wayne. He attended Elmhurst High School and graduated with the Class of 1962.

He was a volunteer fireman and EMT for many years, playing Santa for the kids during the charity events. Dennis played cards, loved the water - skiing, tubing, boating - and enjoyed testing diners and dives in his travels. He was a frequent blood and platelet donor to the Red Cross. His music favorites were Fats Domino, The Beach Boys and The Four Seasons. Dennis grew to be passionate about helping and teaching others in his later years.
