DENNIS SOKOL Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Feb. 26 to Feb. 27, 2018.
SOKOL, Dennis Martin 75, passed away peacefully on Friday, February 23, 2018 after a long battle with prostate cancer, under the tender care of hospice nurses. He was the husband of Karen (Gold) Sokol; they were married 49 years. He was born in Fall River, MA to Attorney Nathan J. and Irene (Tuck) Sokoletsky. Graduated from BMC Durfee High School, served in the Air Force, and received his Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Suffolk University. Dennis was human resources professional with Raytheon, Gillette, North American Industries, and was a long-time employee at Altron in Wilmington, MA. He is survived by his son Jason Sokol; daughter Elizabeth Sokol; sister Samantha (White) Morin; sister-in-law Marcia (Gold) Horowitz and her husband, Attorney Edward Horowitz; brother-in-law, Dr. Michael Gold and his wife Jane (Davies) Gold. He was also loved by his nieces and nephews, Gabrielle White, the late Jocelyn White, Catherine (Gold) Weinberg, Sarah Gold, Daniel Gold, Amy (Horowitz) Schweighardt and Aaron Horowitz. Known for his kindness, winning smile and fantastic sense of humor, Dennis had a joke for every occasion, and he delivered them all with great panache. He loved golf, fishing, photography, building wooden clocks and, most of all, driving his Topaz Triumph TR6. He will miss driving the winding back roads of New England with his many car club friends. Graveside services will be held Wednesday, February 28th at 11:00 AM in Hebrew Cemetery, 73 McMahon St, Fall River, MA. The Meal of Consolation will be following services at McGovern's Restaurant, 310 Shove St, Fall River. Shiva will be held at his late residence Wednesday and Thursday 7-9 PM. In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory may be made to the charity of your choice. www.sugarmansinai.com

Patricia and I grieved upon hearing of Dennis's passing. He was a kind and gentle man and a good neighbor. He and Karen were wonderful people. Beth and Jason, we truly grieve with you. Beth was a dear little girl who welcomed us into our first house standing on the steps with a flower for us. I have never forgotten that. Nor will we ever forget Dennis.

What will we do on Friday evenings without our good friend, Dennis? Bamboo House, watching Jeopardy, or just hanging out with him and Karen. Dennis was our go-to guy for a good story, and, for that matter, advice on everything from employee relations to fixing something. Some of our best times were walking the shore at Good Harbor Beach in Gloucester in later afternoon. Occasionally we went to the beach earlier in the day, when the sun was hot, and while the three of us would be trying out the surf, he'd be enjoying the shade of his umbrella. Dennis loved planning excursions and trips, and going to a new, or favorite restaurant--or a new country. He was generous with everything he had. He was a brother to Becky and me.

Dennis was my friend. He always had a joke and a kind word for everyone. I loved going next door to visit him and Karen. He loved fishing, he claimed. He was really bad at it. The times we did go was a lot of fun to watch him. Sure do miss him and always will.

Will miss my good buddy dearly. He was my friend. He always had a clean joke and a kind word to say to everyone. He was a bad fisherman, but, loved it. Sure miss him already.

We are saddened to hear about the passing of Dennis. He came from a wonderful family and married into a wonderful family. I have childhood and adult memories of spending time with him at the Pearl Street and Adas Israel on Roberson Street shuls together. We hope your wonderful memories of Dennis bring you comfort.

We are greatly saddened to hear of Dennis's passing. We fondly recall the years when we would come to Fall River for the Holidays and share reminiscences and good wishes. He always looked to the bright side and was a source of good cheer and optimism. The measure of happiness in the world will be reduced.

May his family know comfort.
