On Friday, September 9, 2022, Joseph Jennings Dennis, a beloved husband and father, passed away. He was born to James Colin Dennis and Thelma Brown Dennis in Cumberland County, VA, who preceded him in death.

Joseph was married to Barbara Pickett Dennis since 1968. They had two children, Beverly D. Snyder and Stephen W. Dennis. He worked and retired from Rish Equipment (1987-2011) as a mechanic. He was always great at working on anything and getting it to run. He loved fishing and hunting. In his spare time, he loved to garden, play guitar, and was an avid reader. He was quite the storyteller, always had a good one to share. Just recently, he started raising bees.

He is survived by his wife, Barbara; son, Stephen Dennis; stepson, Mark Shrader; dear friend, Mike Lynch; and brother, Franklin Dennis; as well as dozens of nieces and nephews, all who knew him as Uncle Joe.
