Dennis Allen, son of William and Irene (Faas) was born January 6, 1952, in Osage, Iowa. He received his blessed Sacraments in the Catholic Faith. Dennis received his education in the Osage Schools and graduated from Osage High School in 1969. Following high school, he served in the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam Conflict from 1969 until being honorably discharged in 1973. During his service, Dennis was primarily stationed in Japan and while he was there met Satoe “Rummy” Maanoshi. After his honorable discharge, the couple returned to the Osage area and were united in marriage. Following a few years in Osage, the couple moved to rural Denver, prior to moving to Tripoli in the mid 1990’s. Dennis worked in construction for many years. He enjoyed fishing, hunting and was an avid gardener. To all those who knew and loved Dennis, one of his favorite past times was pulling pranks.
Dennis is survived by his brothers, Robert (Myrna) Neis of Mason City and Michael (Carolyn) Neis of Osage; and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Satoe “Rummy”; brother, Richard in infancy; sister, Beverly White; and nephew, Rodney White.
