On April 15, 1967 Dennis married Loretta Knap at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Valparaiso, Nebraska. His greatest joy was raising his nine children and spending time with his grandkids.

He served in the Army National Guard and was a member of the Dwight American Legion Post 110. He also farmed, raised livestock and was an Archer Oil distributor. In his free time, he enjoyed playing the accordion, including founding the Fiala-la-la Polka Band, playing at many family wedding receptions. He was a volunteer for both 4-H and FFA. Commonly when he met someone, with a smile, he would introduce himself as Dennis the Menace. He enjoyed fishing with family and friends. His life was one of service to God and his family, and always standing up and willing to provide a helping hand to others. Faith, Family, Freedom, Fun - He was very strong in his faith.
