From the generation of hard work, Dennis entered into the family business in 1970. He owned and operated the oil company, Desrochers Oil, until 2010 when his son Shawn took over and assumed responsibilities. Dennis cherished his customers, employees and co-workers. He spoke highly of these relationships and the friends he made right up until his passing. One of his favorite pastimes during work was coffee breaks with the guys.

Dennis served in the National Guard. During the summer, he volunteered for Camp Wabun and during the winter Dennis drove school busses. But most of all he, he loved the time spent with his wife, family and friends. He will be sadly missed.
