Dennis had a deep love for sports. He was an avid fan of Ohio State, the Chicago Bears, and the Chicago White Sox, but his greatest joy came from watching the teams his children and grandchildren played on.

He is also survived by his sister, Margaret Williamson.

Also preceded in death by an infant son, Gary Allen; and his siblings: Ronald "Joey" Doster, Bill Doster, Dema Saxton, and Phyllis Jean Doster.
