Dennis J. Bozzelli ,74, passed away suddenly on January 7. His parents, Madeline and Libert Bozzelli who passed in the summer, welcomed Dennis with open arms.
A life-long resident of Cuyahoga Falls and a 1967 graduate of CFHS.
Dennis served in the US Airforce during the Viet Nam conflict. He was stationed in Thailand where he was wounded. Once released from a long medical rehab, he returned to the states and was honorably discharged. But diagnosed with Agent Orange.
After 35 years, he retired from Summit County where he worked in Animal Control and then the street and sewer departments where he met many lifelong friends.
Dennis loved cars. His favorite childhood time was spent building a soap box derby and racing it at Derby Downs . As an adult, Mustangs were his favorite car as he owned a few and loved driving them. He belonged to the Mustang club and enjoyed riding with other members.
Dennis also loved trains. He had an entire room dedicated to his train sets. He was looking forward to a train trip this summer.
His Parkinson’s disease might have kept him down but not out. His sense of humor and love of practical jokes made everyone around him laugh (or roll their eyes). He
tried to make the most of each day.
He leaves behind his Yorkshire Terrier, Riley who was his constant companion for 10 years.
