Our sincerest condolences on the passing of your beloved Dad, grandfather, brother, uncle and dear friend. You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this sad time. We have been neighbours with Dennis for over 14 years when we purchased the home next door as a family cottage. We have such wonderful memories of Dennis and will always remember him as a happy-go-lucky, kindhearted man with a great sense of humour. He was always there for us and kept a lookout to make sure our home was safe during times we weren´t there. He was a wonderful gentleman and neighbour and we will miss him deeply. We will always remember the times when he called us or we had conversations and shared the joy and excitement of his new trucks, his puppy Rusty, and his beautiful classic 1955 Chevy Bellaire. RIP Dennis - we sure are going to miss you.
Your neighbours Ken & Bev Maheux
