Dennis O. Pfeifer, age 64, of Hayden, ID,
passed away Saturday, June 24, 2006 at Kootenai Medical
Center in Coeur d’Alene. Dennis was born on October 2, 1941
in Missoula, MT to Otto & Martha (Kost) Pfeifer. His family
eventually moved to Yakima, WA where Dennis graduated from
Eisenhower H.S. in 1959. Dennis was drafted into the Army in
1966 and spent his military duty in Puerto Rico, as a
Medical Technologist ending in 1968. He then worked for
Boise Cascade as a supervisor until 1975, at which time he
began working for Potlatch Corp. at the Post Falls
Particleboard Plant.
Dennis is survived by his wife of over 18 years, Lona;
daughter Jocelyn Pfeifer of Dallas, TX; his son, Jay Pfeifer
& wife Ana, and 2 beautiful grandchildren, Isabel and
Nathaniel of San Antonio, TX; sisters Charlene Septka and
Sandra Evans in Yakima, WA; brother Delbert & wife Judy
Pfeifer in LaVerne, CA. He is also survived by many nieces
and nephews in Yakima and Othello, WA, as well as his 2
favorite Scotty pals, Barney & Bailey (Cutie). He was
preceded in death by his sister, Lili Ann Lenseigne in 1952,
his father in 1983, and his mother in 1998.
Dennis had a very special quality … he was able to make you
laugh whether you’d known him for 5 seconds or 5 years. He
was a kind, gentle spirit with a loving nature. He also had
the ability to bring out the BEST in others. His passion was
his COMPUTER, and everyone looked to Dennis for his help
with theirs. He loved listening to all kinds of music, and
enjoyed all the older movies. He was an avid golfer in years
past. The ‘love of his life’ was his beloved Scotty, Bugsy.
