He married the love of his life, Linda L. McGraw (McClean), on April 20, 1969. They would have celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary next month.
It should surprise no one who knew Dennis that he specifically requested, “The shortest obituary possible.” To honor that wish: Dennis is survived by his wife of 57 years, Linda L. McGraw. Children, Tracy R. McGraw, Melissa L. McGraw, and Brett A. McGraw. Four Grandchildren, Brittany (Christian) Dorn, Brad McGraw-Wixson, Noah McGraw-Wixson, and Savanna McGraw.
