Dennis J. Frost, Hortonville, age 64, died unexpectedly at ThedaCare of New London on Wednesday, March 1, 2017. He was born in Milwaukee on July 15, 1952 to the late Harold and Bernice (Bricco) Frost. Following his high school graduation, Dennis enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps and served until 1981. He truly enjoyed his time in the military and the opportunity to travel the world. He married Cheryl (Hopfensperger) Kietzmann on February 20, 1998. Dennis was never one to stand still. He worked at Wil-Kil Pest Control and Woodmans. In earlier years, he enjoyed woodworking and made yard ornaments with Cheryl. Together, they hosted family cookouts every Sunday. When he finally sat to relax, it was always in his favorite chair, with Peanut the cat having to make room for him.
