Dennis Dittman Obituary

Dennis F Dittman passed away January 3, 2018 at age 72. He was an artist, musician, historian and owner of Antique Restoration Studio in both Denver and Bayfield Colorado. Previously, in Wisconsin he was the owner of Golden Eagle in Dousman and Tru Grain in Genesee. Dennis was a craftsman with some of his restored pieces going to museums or sold by major auction houses. As a historian, he'd talk to customers for hours about the items they brought him, or details about where they were born. Sadly, it seems the exposure to all the chemicals used refinishing furniture contributed to his struggles with bladder cancer, dementia and untimely passing. He will be missed by his mother Anna Mae Quesnell Schwister, sister Darla Lange along with niece Naomi Lange and nephew Ryan Lange. A private ceremony will be held at a later date.

I will miss him. We had many long conversations about restoration and solving the world's problems. We also argued the merits of a straight pick vs thumb pick in guitar work.

The loss of a loved one is painful and it is often hard trying to express to others how you really feel. Those who love you understand and will stand by, and with, you to help you through this most difficult time. (Proverbs 17:17)
