Dennis Dale (Boone) Zewe Sr.
Dennis Dale (Boone) Zewe Sr. left his earthly bonds to be with his Savior, Jesus Christ, Thursday, September 1, 2022. Dennis was born January 29, 1947, in Monongahela, to William and Verna Zewe.
Dennis graduated from Monongahela Junior-Senior High School and California State University of Pennsylvania.
Dennis married his high school sweetheart, Judy Kenny Zewe, August 17, 1964. They spent 58 wonderful years together and she was by his side when he took his last breath.
He spent his early career as a high school Industrial Arts teacher and football coach.
In 1979, Dennis, Judy and their children moved to Denver, Colo., where he worked as a systems engineer for Electronic Data Systems (EDS) and IBM.
Dennis loved his family more than anything on this earth. He especially cherished his time with his grandchildren and loved taking them fishing. Dennis loved joking with people. For some unknown reason, people gravitated to him. He was the one guy you wanted in your corner if you needed help. He was an avid Steelers and Penn State football fan.
Dennis was preceded in death by his daughter, Donna Potempa (Rick); his brother, Gary Zewe; and his parents.
Dennis is survived by his wife, Judy Kenny Zewe; his brother, Dana Bruce (Judy) Zewe; his son, Dennis Zewe Jr. (Kristine); his grandchildren, Jessica Leary (Zach), Brittany Samm (Dan), Bradley Zewe (Sarah), Kevin Potempa (Andrea), Josh Potempa (Katie), and Sean Potempa; great-grandchildren, Logan and Reese Leary, Leia, Harlee and Ahlyvia Potempa.
He also joins his beloved dogs, Max, Maggie and Lily, in heaven and leaves behind, in Judy’s care, his pug, Bella.
Dennis is also survived by his very special family friends, Louis, Alesha, Asher, Eli and Judah Toenjes.
A Celebration of Life will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, November 12, in the Monongahela Valley Country Club in Monongahela. Bring your memories to share. Refreshments will be served.
