Dennis Raymond Tumminia, 72, of Midland, our intellectual, charismatic, energetic, compassionate, and meticulous husband and father was born into eternal life on Friday, September 27, 2019 at The Toni & Trish House. Dennis was born in Jamestown, New York on March 26, 1947, the son of the late Philip and Josephine (Allette) Tumminia. Denny received his Bachelor Degree from Rochester Institute of Technology and served in the U.S. Army just prior to Vietnam.

Denny retired from Dow Chemical, where he was an engineer and was granted multiple patents. After retirement, Denny kept busy working part-time for H & R Block, and for the former Robinson’s Jewelers. He was a member of St. Brigid Catholic Church and enjoyed fishing, sailing, pickleball, basketball, table tennis, and playing cards.
