Dennis Michaelis

Dennis Michaelis

Dennis passed away June 15, 2007, after a courageous battle with lung cancer. He worked several jobs before joining his father at Cummins Northwest in Renton where he worked for 35 years. He was highly involved with the Machinist Union there where he fought for his fellow workers rights. 

 
A great brother, an outstanding father, Dennis had a dry sense of humor and kept the whole family laughing. He loved the old cars, restoring several; it truly became his passion in life. He is survived by his wife Joan; first wife Linda and children: daughter Stephanie (1972) and son Grant (1974).
