Dennis was born to Lelia Cooper and William Alvin Totty in Petersburg, VA on October 26, 1947. The oldest of four children, Dennis graduated in 1966 from Great Bridge High School in Chesapeake, VA. He loved horses, his '67 baby blue Corvette Stingray, and building things with his hands. He served in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam Era. Dennis retired from his job in Code Enforcement and Animal Control for the town of Scotland Neck, NC to pursue his lifelong dream of farming. He married Mary Jo, his best friend of 25 years, in 2011. His greatest joy in life was his family including his grandparents and many special aunts and uncles. He was a loving father and grandfather to six children and twelve grandchildren.
