Hein, Dennis L. (15 NOV 1954 – 24 NOV 2014)
Dennis L. Hein, 60, Spencer, passed away on Monday, Nov. 24, 2014, at Ministry
Saint Joseph’s Hospital, Marshfield. Funeral services were held at 11 a.m., on
Saturday, Nov. 29, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Spencer. Rev. David DePaoli
officiated. Committal services will be held privately at a later date.
Dennis was born on Nov. 15, 1954, in Neillsville, the son of Laverne and Anita
(nee Greening) Hein. After graduation from Spencer High School, he worked for a
time at Randt Cheese Factory in Loyal, later moving to Sheboygan where he was
employed at The Kohler Company. He moved to Wisconsin Rapids and worked at
Preway Fireplace Co. On Sept. 29, 1979, Dennis married the love of his life,
Debra Grimm. She survives. Other occupations included work-ing assembly at Art
Craft in Spencer, and operating a dairy farm and at the same time working at
Land O' Lakes in Spencer. After retiring from farming in 2001, Dennis did
seasonal work for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources as a gypsy moth
trapper, worked as a substitute rural mail carrier in the Colby area, and drove
for Progressive Travel in Spencer. In 2011, Dennis became a full-time rural mail
carrier in Colby until his recent retirement due to health issues. His hobbies
included hunting, fishing and enjoying or spending time in the outdoors. For
those who knew him, Dennis was a little bit of a prankster and jokester, but
also a hard-working man dedicated to his family. He was a member of and past
trustee and elder at Trinity Lutheran Church in Spencer.
Survivors include his mother, Anita Hein, Spencer; his wife, Debra Hein,
Spencer; two daughters, Heather (Adam) Miller, Spencer, and Ashley (Marque
Polster) Hein-Polster, Janesville; three grandchildren, Carissa, Haley and
Daniel Miller; one sister, Kathy (Kevin) Kaiser, Spencer; and many other
relatives and friends.
Dennis was preceded in death by his father, Lavern Hein; and three sisters,
Linda Kilty, Karen Jensen and Jean Martin.
Memorials in Dennis’ name are being accepted by the family for a charity to be
determined at a later date.
