He served in Europe in the Army Air Corps from 1942-1945, was awarded a Bronze Star, and was discharged as a Staff Sergeant. Pett attended Iowa State Teacher’s College in Cedar Falls where he met his future wife, Jean Wilma Crowell of Chelsea, Vermont.

Passionately devoted to his family, friends, colleagues, and students, Dennis Pett was a man of remarkable good humor and quick wit, tremendous energy, limitless generosity, and infectious enthusiasm.
