Dennis P. Letendre, 61, of East Hartford, passed away peacefully at Riverside Health & Rehabilitation Center on Monday (September 3, 2018). Born on June 29, 1957 in Hartford, he was the son of the late Paul H. Letendre and Germaine M. (Trudeau) Letendre and had lived in the area all his life.

In addition, he leaves aunts, uncles and cousins. Dennis was a humble, faith- filled gentleman who had a great deal of empathy and compassion for others. He had a warm demeanor and a way of befriending the people he met along the way. Dennis' family would like to give thanks to the special staff and administration at Riverside, his extended family, for all the care, compassion and support they provided to him over the years.

Sending my sincere condolences to the Family, I've known Dennis for more than 20 years. He was always so pleasant yet he was loved by many. I worked at Riverside for ten years and during that time had the pleasure of taking care the dad as well. I left Riverside in 2006 but always wondered how Dennis was doing and went to see him a few times while my mom was a patient there and just saw him on September 1. Who knew it would be my last, he will truly be missed. I know he will be a beautiful Angel, may his soul rest in perfect peace. This has truly touched my heart, prayers for all of his family.
