" Dial P for Poppy"

Dennis Hugo Lindstedt, Zack's grandfather, was born on October 2, 1930 and passed September 23, 2010. Just shy of his 80th birthday. As you all know, he was diagnosed with esophagus cancer and decided to have surgery to remove it. Unfortunately, since his surgery it was complication after complication. By the time he passed away at Madison Hospital he had spent 100 days there. Through the entire ordeal Poppy kept fighting and stayed very positive. Dennis was a man of MUCH integrity. He loved his family dearly and always put us first. Zack and I will miss him terribly! We would always be excited to see him down at Zack's moms for the holidays. Thanksgiving: He would have come with his great turkey and relaxed in the living room with a glass of ,his favorite, Brandy and a shot of water.He also would have met one more of his great grandchildren by that time ( Payton). Christmas: He would have came with his great ham and spoke of times he might of let the fire get a little to big when he was making" Glug" for " Glug Nights" in the past. My family also got to know Dennis and become close with him because family was so important to him. At Christmas time he always made it a point to come to my mom's Christmas eve open house. He always said that the "Swedes" and the "Polaks" had something in common.......good FOOD : ) and he was right. We ALL loved him so and will miss him dearly. And we will never forget one of his great lines. If you needed anything or were in any kind of trouble always remember to "Dial P for Poppy".
