Dennis was born on June 6, 1946, in Rushford to Edward and Josephine (Woxland) Peterson. He attended Big Martin Country School and graduated from Rushford High School in 1964. He received his Associates degree in Business from Winona State College. On June 25, 1966, he married Ruth Westby. He served in the U.S. National Guard for 8 years. Dennis worked for Tri County Electric Coop in Rushford for 32 years, retiring in 1998. While at Tri County he also farmed, retiring from farming in 2010. Dennis worked part time at Farmers Elevator in Rushford for ten years.

Dennis was a charter member and past president of the Rushford Jaycees. He was a member, officer and past president of the Rushford Lions Club. Dennis was a member of the Rushford School Board and the American Legion Post 94 in Rushford. Dennis was Sergeant of Arms for the Color Guard for over 35 years. He was currently on the Board of Directors at Rushford State Bank. He enjoyed farming, playing cards, family holidays and spending time with friends and family. Dennis was very well-known for his quick wit and his unique one-liners.
