  4. I knew you for but a mare moment in time but your impact was vast, you always greeted me with a smile to let me know that we are to always be happy in life, you will be missed Sir Dennis rest easy

  5. It is with absolute pride that I get to say I knew you and worked with you.

    I remember clearly one morning we were sitting in the office waiting for a meeting to start when I heard a laugh – as I looked over at you, you were shaking your head, and smiling ! I couldn’t help but ask what you were thinking about, to which you replied you remembered being at a Hendrix concert and while waiting for the band to start, you saw a man crawl into a speaker and you were wondering if that man could still hear! Ha!

    I am so very thankful for our many conversations, and as an old cat skinner I hope that you keep those paths bladed for us!

    Rest in peace.

  8. We were overwhelmed with sadness learning of Dennis’s rapidly progrssing illness. Gratefulness soon took over the sadness, grateful that he did not suffer long, grateful that I was able to have you as a dear friend for almost a half of a century. Grateful that you met and introduced us to the love of your life. Grateful that we are now blessed to have Melinda as a dear friend. Dennis was a kind, compassionate, loyal, light up the room with his infectious sense of humour friend that will forever be in our hearts and missed more that words can say

Nor for the comforts I wish to express to his wife, my beautiful friend Melinda. And so, I share the words of R. A. Melos on this heartbreaking occasion. May you find comfort in knowing how deeply you are both loved.
