Dennis Woodward Samuelson, 82, passed away peacefully into the loving hands of our Lord on March 2nd, 2023, while surrounded by family in Clermont, FL. He was born in 1941, in Norwalk, CT. He married his childhood sweetheart in 1968 and raised their daughter in Newtown, CT. They enjoyed over 50 fantastic married years together.
Dennis was a kind, caring, and peaceful man. He enjoyed many years of hard work running his own land-scaping business. He could always be found working on a project around the house or eating at his favorite restaurants. He loved his hot rods, but he enjoyed rebuilding his 1962 Corvette the most, which won him multiple car show trophies over the years.
He is preceded in death by parents Harry Sr. and Eva Samuelson and Brother Harry Samuelson Jr. He is survived by his wife Linda Samuelson; daughter Monica Imundi; brother David Samuelson; son-in-law Robert Imundi; granddaughter Cori Imundi; brother-in-law Edward Palochick; nephew Craig Palochick and great-nephew Zac Palochick.
He touched the lives of so many people and will be forever loved and missed by his family and friends.
In lieu of flowers please make donations to the Astatula Fire Department as well as Compassionate Care Hospice in Clermont.

Dennis you brought light and sunshine to everyone you met. As the same as your buddy in heaven used to say…you never met a stranger. Everyone was an immediate friend. Your smile was contagious. I can still here that laugh as though you were in the same room. You are leaving a lot of loved ones here and you will be sorely missed but you are not alone. You are rejoining your family as well as your best friends. Goodbye friend. See you on the other side. God bless you

Linda,
There are no words of comfort to be said that will ease your loss. I remember you and Dennis always laughing and joking around with Andy and Nancy and sometimes my own parents, Carol and Chris Whalen. It’s hard to think of Andy and Nancy without also thinking of Dennis. Mom says that the only good thing is that now Andy and Dad and Uncle Richard all have a new friend in Heaven with them and that she just knows there will be hijinks happening. When I heard about Dennis passing I went out and prayed to Dad, letting him know that Dennis was on his way and that Andy needed to be on the lookout for him. I know they were there to welcome him with open arms.
