A Jack of all trades he would say, but a master Carpenter was his profession, able to fix anything and a lover of treasure mysteries and the numbers. Many have said he was a talker but people close to him knew he wanted to be loved and he loved his family very much. A musician who played with his sister Lotus and brother Phillip. He loved entertaining. Reginald was married to Ellen Louise Perry for 56 years until her passing in 2005. Mr. Dentry was a Sunday school teacher (1954-1960) and sang in the choir for Madison Methodist Church for many years where he was a member until his passing. Reg loved to talk about the bible and had many interests. Working as a carptender, he belonged to local carpenter's union 46 where he was especially proud to have built Governor Romney a spiral staircase in their home during the 60s of which he spoke of often. Living in Madison Heights all his life, he and brother Phillip built their parents' (Caroline and Christopher Dentry) home on Groveland where it still stands today. It is with great sadness we say goodbye for now to our father, mentor, teacher, grandpa and friend til we meet again in Heaven.
