    I proudly served in the National Guard with Dennis and his brothers and dad, I always enjoyed his humor and laid back stance on life. I also had the opportunity to have him as a customer while he worked at Foil Laminating. Dennis has always been friendly and cordial, he will be missed by many!

    I just learned of this sad news today. I am so sorry for all of the Hostetler family and their loss of a wonderful husband, father, and son. Dennis was one of my cousins, his Dad and my Mom were brother and sister, and we spent many holidays together at Grandma and Grandpa Hostetler\’s house when we were kids.
    God Bless,
