Dennis K. Sanford entered eternal rest Jan. 10, 2009, born Nov. 7, 1945. He died in his home surrounded by his family.

Dennis is survived by his loving wife of 27 years, Lynne; two children, son Jon Sanford and daughter Ann (Justin); granddaughter Morgan; three stepsons, Rick (Leane) Borden and sons Matthew, Jamie (Cassandra), great-grandson Parker Borden; Tom and (Debra) Borden, granddaughters Bryanna, Justine and Tomi; Steve (Jennifer) Borden and grandsons Tristian, Dakota and Noah; two sisters, Judith (Curtis) Peterson and niece Betsy (Brent) and grandniece Sarah Starky; and sister Jill Sanford. Also surviving are two sisters-in-law, Janet (John) Bordenave and Mary Anne (Tom) Arsenault, and one brother-in-law, Joe (Karen) O'Neill. Dennis always thought of his mother-in-law, Irene O'Neill, as his "special" mom.

Dennis proudly served his country in the United States Army and received the Purple Heart Award for his bravery. He enjoyed his family, his friends, his work and many sports such as fishing, golfing and hockey. After working 14 years as Vice President of finance for Kavouraz Inc., he and his wife Lynne moved in 1997 from Minnesota to Prescott, Ariz., where he spent his final years battling ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Dennis is remembered by his family and friends for his never-ending fight to make our world a better place to live. He fought a good fight, he finished his course, he kept his faith.

Memorial services will take place at a later date at the VA cemetery.
