Dennis was born February 9, 1934, to John and Mathilda (Fischer) Rosenhammer. Dennis attended Quail Trap country school through 8th grade, he attended St. Mary\u2019s in 2nd grade so he could receive first holy communion. In 1953, he was drafted into the U. S. Army, where he spent 2 years at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri. On May 9th, 1959, Dennis married Mildred \u201cMil\u201d Seidl. This began their 64 years of marriage which was spent entirely on the same family farm. Given a few dairy cows by each of their parents was the beginning of their dairy herd which grew steadily. Together they enjoyed milking cows, feeding calves, driving tractor, and keeping the farm tidy.<\/p>\n

Dennis was a quiet man, with a love for farming, baseball, history, and polka music. At age 16, he taught himself how to play the concertina by sound, never with music notes. He took excellent care of his farm, always keeping machinery stored inside, making sure the shed doors were closed overnight, and taking time to preserve the tractors that he began his farming career, the John Deere G and Farmall H. Dennis also took time to coach baseball for Stark and served as a board member in his younger years. Dennis loved the farm animals, always taking time to pet his favorite cow, cat, and dog. He spent lots of time driving the gator to check on the farm, mowing lawn, and taking care of his dog, Comet, who rode along on many of the gator rides. Dennis always had a smile and a wave for everyone he met on the road.<\/p>\n

Dennis is survived by his children: son, John (Patty) Rosenhammer of Sleepy Eye and their children, Joe (Katie) Rosenhammer (children, Preston, Emmett, and Henry), Laura (Chris) Scholtz (children, Morgan and Mya), Mary Grace (Kyle) Fischer (children, Ava, Gracin, and Jeb), Rebecca (Chad) U\u2019Ren, and Johnny Rosenhammer; daughter, Marcia (Dan) Schindler of Chatfield and their son, Drew Schindler; son, Greg (Cali) Rosenhammer of Hanska; and other loving relatives and friends.<\/p>\n

Dennis was preceded in death by his wife, Mildred; parents, John and Mathilda; brothers, Leander and Patrick Rosenhamer; parents-in-law, Leonard and Leona Seidl; brothers-in-law, Stanley Bauer, Larry Bauer, Mike Seidl; and sister-in-law, Angela Rosenhammer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
