Dennis, my cowboy, my husband. Dennis was a graduate of the McComb Horse Shoeing School. He then worked as a ferrier, then at a car detail shop, then operator and foreman of Rader Excavating and finally as Master Electrician of Jenkins Display for 30 years. His play time was spent horseback riding and boating every chance he got (sunshine or moonshine). He lived life to the fullest while looking for a party or if a good time didn’t find him, he made it a good time with his own collection of music and sarcasm that only he could deliver.

Left to cherish his memory is his beloved wife of 24 years, Yvonne Ing, nee Collins, of Waterloo, IL, whom he married on October 2, 1997 in Belleville, IL. His son, Austin Clay also of Waterloo, his mother-in-law, Linda Collins and his sisters, Cheryl Varady and Stacie (Vince) King, his sister-in-law, Celeste (Jimmy) Oliver and brother-in-law, Tony (Julaine) Collins.
