Dennis Dasher Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
"Denny" was always a free-spirited, fun-loving adventurer who loved the outdoors. Hunting and fishing with his friends and family aboard his boat, Mama's Boy, was his passion, as well as enjoying a day's ride to nowhere on his Harley. He loved the freedom of the open road and the sea.
Denny had a way of making people laugh and formed many lifelong friendships throughout his journey. His love of the water also became his career. He began working as a teenager on crabbing and fishing boats alongside local watermen. He later worked on scallop boats before spending many years on ocean-going tugboats. Eventually, he settled into a career as a rigger at the shipyard.
Surrounded by a loving family and many lifelong friends, Denny's memory-and that great big smile-will be cherished by all who knew him.

To Denny's family,
I am completely heartbroken and stunned by the loss of such a kind and loving friend and your son,brother and a person whose life has touched so many in so many profound and genuine ways and tonight I am in tears because I have missed my friend for so long and never got to see him in the recent past years but have always held him in my thoughts and heart. Denny was nothing but good to me and the same I can say for his family when we were friends that ran together almost every day for many nights and days and had crazy adventures that will always remind me of the good times as a young man in Gloucester with the friends that helped shape the future years of all of our lives and its these memories that will always be how I am going to remember a friend who helped me get through some rough times while we were having some of the best time and that helped me never forget the kindness and caring I was shown I Gloucester by some of the People who came into my life. With all the most sincere love and condolences from my family to yours I send my deepest regrets for this tragic and sudden event that has me hurting along with the rest of Denny's friends and family.
Respectfully,
Richard Howton and Family
