Dennis C. Wasem

December 4, 1939 - January 8, 2021

At the age of 81, it is time to say good-bye to Dennis Clair Wasem, son of the late Cletus and Lois Wasem. Denny is mourned by his wife, Mary Nay-Wasem, daughter Cortney Dziak and husband Jay, granddaughter Zora, son Christopher Wasem and stepdaughter Kendra Sheppard and her companion Rick Pena. Late in life and to his delight, he discovered two half sisters, Deanna Pohl of Minnesota and Kerry Boehler from Ohio. Since 2017, Denny has been a resident at LakePointe Health Center in Lorain, and our thanks go to the staff, nurses and aides there who cared for him with compassion and love. A 1957 graduate of Firelands High School, he stayed close to many childhood friends throughout his life and shared an unbreakable bond with them. He loved boating and fishing and spent 20 years at Valley Harbor Marina in Vermilion. The friends he made there became extended family and many happy times were shared with them. We have lost a husband, a father, a friend, and an unmatchable storyteller who could make the most mundane happening seem like a great adventure. Dennis, you will be greatly missed by us all. Service was private for family only, but when this pandemic has finally ended, a memorial will be announced where both friends and family can gather to celebrate Denny’s life
