Dennis Lee Grosenbach went home to be with the Lord March 11, 2023. Born April 5, 1947, Dennis was husband, father, brother, son, friend. Dennis was married to Maureen (Lemieux) Grosenbach for 56 years through sickness and health, peaks and valleys, and all that lay between.
Dennis loved his country and enlisted in the United States Air Force after graduating Arvada West High School in 1965. SGT Grosenbach put his technical skills and top secret clearance to use while maintaining the camera systems on the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance jet in the late 1960s. For this assignment Dennis was stationed at Beale AFB in California and Kadena AFB in Okinawa, Japan. Dennis was offered the choice between continuing his assignment with the SR-71 program at Mildenhall AFB (England) or accepting an early honorable discharge. Dennis elected for early discharge as he had a young wife and son at home.
Dennis was a journeyman electrician and proud member of the International Brotherhood Of Electrical Workers over 50 years. Dennis made a move late in his career and worked as an electrical inspector for the State of Washington until his retirement.
Dennis is survived by his wife Maureen, son Todd, daughter Suzanne, two grandsons, extended family, and friends.
