Dennis Henry Rearick
Dennis Henry Rearick died at home on September 17, 2016 in Ventura, CA.
Dennis was born November 2, 1949, in Kittanning, PA to John Henry and Katherine
(Goepfert) Rearick.
He was a 1967 graduate of Worthington-West Franklin High School, Worthington,
Pa.
In 1980 he married the love of his life, Ellen, at Garden of the Gods in
Colorado.
He enjoyed a good mystery, was an avid griller, a devoted Steelers and Pirates
fan, and as he liked to say, an "armchair surfer."
He and Ellen often traveled to different parts of the country.
Dennis will be remembered as an advocate for people with disabilities, as a man
who pushed himself to try new things, and as an intelligent and loving father,
husband, uncle, and friend.
He leaves his loving wife of 36 years, Dr. Ellen M. (Gustafson) Rearick of
Ventura, CA and Wales, MA; his children Dr. Molly "Kate" Rearick of Los Angeles,
CA, Emma "Lou" Rearick and her husband Jay Guarneri of Manhattan, KS, and
Benjamin Rearick of Wales, MA; and many other loved ones.
He was preceded in death by his parents and siblings, Delores Stahlman and John
Kenneth Rearick.
Dennis' life will be celebrated privately.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Center of Hope in Southbridge,
MA or Reid's Gift, Inc. in Los Angeles, CA. |
