Dennis Cote Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Dennis was born on December 26, 1963 in Laconia, NH, the son of the late Omar and Rachael
(Blake) Cote.
Dennis was a loving husband and father but his greatest joy was being a Papa. He was someone who
spent the entire day thinking about other people and what he could do to make life better for them. He
spent much of his energy making people laugh and making sure no one was lonely. Anyone who
knew Dennis knew he did not have an easy life but he was someone who wanted to see other people
be genuinely happy. He loved to ride around town on his scooter with his little dog in the basket
while he caught Pokemon and conversed with friends and neighbors. He enjoyed fishing, collecting
sports memorabilia and playing Animal Crossing with his wife. He was a history buff. He
remembered everyone he ever met and would spend hours telling stories about his friends and
adventures. He was quick to offer a helping hand to others and had a strong work ethic. He enjoyed
yearly trips to Maine and visiting lighthouses as well as historical locations. We will always miss him
and who he was as a person.
Dennis is survived by his wife and best friend, Sally (Lefler) Cote; children, Mary and John Luszey
of Franklin, Crystal and Charlie Goller of Hill: grandchildren; Lily Parshley, Steven Copp, Samantha
Cote, Julie Cote, Kaida Morris, Sarah Luszey, Phoenix Morris and Joshua Luszey; Sisters Brenda
Cote and Kim Gutierrez; brother; John Cote as well many nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, he is predeceased by his brother, Michael Blake; son, Stephen G. Cote; and
daughter, Sally Avery.

We are sorry about the loss of Dennis. Although we were only able to meet him during a short week-long visit, we found him to be friendly and kind and he had quite a sense of humor. We are so very thankful for him taking our son under his wing as son-in-law and for being so welcoming. Rest in peace Dennis.
