Dennis R. Wingard was 54 but would tell you he was 25. He enjoyed fishing, bowling, concerts, sports, hanging out with friends, and having a “good time.”

He was an avid Notre Dame, Cubs and Bears fan. He loved music and dancing. Dennis believed you have to work hard to play hard. Some of his past careers were water blasting, general contracting and a union painter. He was a loyal husband, sibling and friend. In anyone’s time of need, he would assist, regardless if he knew what he was doing or not. Dennis was very patriotic; he loved his country and the 4th of July was his favorite holiday. He will truly be missed.

Preceding him in death is his Father: Chuck Wingard, Sisters: Janiece Gore and Sally Lamphear, and Brother-in-law: Joe Lamphear.

Survived by his Mother: Tina Wingard, Wife: Jennifer Wingard, Siblings: Teresa (Scott) Harness, Bryan (Julie) Wingard, and Danny Wingard, Brother-in-law Larry Gore, and many nieces and nephews who he loved dearly.

Dennis’ life will be celebrated at home with family and friends.
