Dennis L. Laul, age 77, of Tamaqua, peacefully passed away on April 15, 2026, at Seton Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation. He was the beloved husband of Valerie A. (Kalis) Laul, with whom he shared 39 years of marriage.

Born on May 11, 1948, in Sayville, New York, Dennis was the cherished son of the late May (Rosinski) Laul. His life was marked by dedicated service to his country as a proud veteran of the United States Army during the Vietnam conflict, a testament to his courage and commitment.

Dennis built a career as a copier technician with Davis Business Machine, where he was respected for his skill and professionalism. Beyond his work, he was a man of faith, a devoted Catholic, and an active member of St. John the XXIII in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania.

A passionate photographer, Dennis found joy in capturing moments and preserving memories through his lens, a creative outlet that enriched his life and allowed him to share his perspective with those around him.

He leaves behind his loving wife, Valerie A. Laul; his sons Tony Stilitino of Tamaqua, Christopher Stilitino of Summit Hill, and Eric Stilitino, husband of Stacey, of Pittston. He was also a proud grandfather to Jesse, Mercedes, Rayna, Vincent, Logan, Brandon, and Collin. Dennis will be fondly remembered by his sister Rosie McClarin of Florida.

Dennis was preceded in death by his sister Joann.
