In Dennis’ growing up years in Bovill he was known and “Dennis The Menace”, and lived up to it daily. Later he was known as a “dumpster diver” where he found many treasures – so he said!

He married Sherry Browning from Deary in August 1967 and later divorced. Together they had two sons, Dennis White Jr. (Wendy) of Spokane and Dock (Kari) White of Edgewood, WA.
