Not sure what to say?

Dear Rose, Michael and Katie, Tom and Liz, and Kevin, It is hard to believe that young Denis is no longer with us here, but his spirit lives on. As I mentioned in my first message, I can still see him in Grandma's living room in San Francisco, a young gentle exceedingly pleasant young man. We all enjoyed his company and later the company of his bride, Rose. He brought with him the humor and civility of Ireland. He was also a commection to his Uncle Denis who was also a generous kind...

Dear Rose, Michael, Tommy, and Kevin,

With great sadness I learned of the passing of Denis from my good friend Kay. I remember Denis when he first arrived from Ireland and visited the Flynn family in San Francisco. We called him "Young Denis" to distinguish him from his Uncle Denis, married to my grandmother. He was even as a young man a quiet gentle thoughtful person and a great favorite of our whole family. He was so proud to introduce his bride Rose to us when they returned...

Denis was one of life's true gentlmen, He saw the person, not the appearance,perception or bias, and he enjoyed the interaction.People were accepted based on how they behaved.

He has left lasting memories of the best of human nature. This is reinforced through the family he has left behind.
Deepest sympathies to Rose,Michael, Tommy and Kevin and their families. The world was a better place because of Denis. Let us cherish these memories and wish him joy on his future...

From the moment i met you on sunset boulevard in 1985 until his passing he was a gentleman in every sense of the word i always enjoyed my time with him tracing relations and talks of home etc.
You are among a generation of true gentlemen fast disappearing
You will be missed Thank you for the fond memory's
