Dennis Brophy Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 15, 2008.
BROPHY, Dennis 1951 - 2008 Dennis was released peacefully from the challenges of cancer November 8, 2008. During the past 2 1/2 years, he was lovingly supported by his wife Verna; son Rob and fiancee Dana; son James and wife Veronique, daughter Jeanelle and grandchildren Harli-Elise and Lily, stepson Jason; his mother Margaret and brother and sister-in-law John and Maureen; and Vernas extensive family. As well, Dennis was especially strengthened by the unbounded friendship of his best buddies Glen, Hal, Ron and Hugh as well as other friends and colleagues who spent time with him as he journeyed this path. The family would like to thank all the medical teams for his good care. And they extend special heartfelt appreciation to the Grey Nuns Palliative Care medical team who looked after him with such warmth during the last few days of his life. Cremation has taken place at Hainstocks Funeral Home. In keeping with Denniss wishes, a small gathering of family and friends will be held to celebrate his life. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Cross Cancer Institute, 11560 University Avenue NW, Edmonton, Alberta, T6G 1Z2 Grey Nuns Palliative Care Unit, 11111 Jasper Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta, T5K OL4 Nature Canada, 85 Albert Street, Suite 900, Ottawa, ON, K1P 6A4 www.naturecanada.ca

Hi Verna. I am saddened to hear of Dennis' death. I still remember the great feeling of "family" that we shared at LJH. I hope it gives you comfort to know I'll be thinking of you often as you grieve. May the angels be with you.
