Dennis was born on April 11, 1953, to Charles and Anna Stricker in Torrington, Wyoming, where he also graduated high school in 1971.

Dennis married Lucinda Allbee in 1972 in Torrington. From that union their daughter Amy was born in 1973. Amy married Nicholas Williams in 1996 and has four sons Alec (Kala), Aric, Nathan and Noah.

Dennis spent over four decades in the farm equipment sales industry working for Case Power and Equipment, HorizonWest, and Titan until his retirement. He enjoyed his career and serving the many local community farmers with their farm equipment needs.

When Dennis was not in office or in the field, he enjoyed spending a couple afternoons a week and most weekends golfing with friends. Dennis and Chris also enjoyed golfing, grilling, and cruising in the Corvette. Dennis loved being involved in her family’s activities and gatherings. Dennis loved spending time with Amy, Nick, and his grandsons in Pierre. He spent many hours traveling to watch all four of his grandsons’ sports events over the past 20 years. Dennis’ oldest grandson Alec and his wife, Kala, are expecting Dennis’s first great-grandson in September. Something he truly was looking forward to.
