Dennis READE-SLATER Obituary
April 7, 1948 - February 19, 2013
On February 19, 2013 Dennis Reade-Slater passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family. He leaves to cherish his memory his wife Jackie, children Mike (Bryn) and Kim, grandson Bailey, nephew Paul McLean, as well as many friends. Dennis's family was the most important thing in his life. He loved camping, skiing in Manning Park, and spending summers in the Cariboo. He spent his career as an accountant for KPMG, and a big thank you is owed to them for giving him a home for 20 years. The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Michael Kates and the nurses and staff at Evergreen House in North Vancouver for their kind and compassionate care over the years. A Celebration of Dennis's Life will be held on April 6, 2013. For service details and to send condolences, please email: [email protected]. For those who wish, donations in Dennis's memory will be gratefully accepted by the Kenneth Gordon Maplewood School.

I met Dennis at CHS and spent 4 years with him and our good friend Ron at UBC. If I remember correctly, Dennis won the Silver Medal for the 1973 UFE exams. Years later we ended up working at the same firm. What a great guy! Thinking of you Jackie and the family.

I was very saddened to hear of Dennis's death. I remember Dennis as a very soft spoken, kind person. He is now free from any suffering. My condolences and prayers go out to Jackie and his children.
Blessings, Joanne Nokleby nee Cresswell

My wife [ Waldy Schlager ] and I were saddened at the news of Dennis's passing. We both went to school with Dennis and have not been in touch with him for many years. We last saw Dennis at a school reunion many years ago and although he needed two canes to walk he was still the same happy great guy we new so well in our school years. Now his suffering has passed and the joy of his being remains. It doesn't sound right to say he is in a better place now, but the truth is he is. Waldy and I are not religious but our life experiences have shown us a little beyond the veil and we have a good idea of what it's like.
I don't know why the good ones have to die young, it doesn't seem fair. But that's how life goes. Sweet Dreams Dennis, welcome home.
