Time is supposed to heal all wounds. But years have passed, and my heart still feels pain. My friend Dennis, is always with me, I just wish we were back in school at St Michaels. That way he would still be with us, and there would be no pain. Sadly missed every day by Danny Bowne

Just learned about Dennis' Death yesterday (February 20th 2018). It explains why he stopped calling us. Kathie and I have very many fond memories of his visits over a number of years. Dexter also has wonderful memories of Dennis at St. Michael's and the reliable service and devotion he rendered there. Very sorry to hear he died but confident that he is held in God's eternal love.

I remember Dennis very fondly growing up especially when PAL was up at St.Mikes... Me my girlfriend and Dennis would always kid each other about who broke the waits in the gym ... He would blame us and we would say Dennis broke the waits and we would all laugh..... He was a good man and an intricate part of good ole St Mikes... Fly high Dennis, I know you will....
