Dennis was a good and Godly man who loved and cherished his wife,his children and grandchildren.He would help you in any way he could.He would speak his mind and his beliefs, he was a bit gruff but he was a gentle giant. He got sick from helping a neighbor and friend, just being Dennis.When I was younger I was quite thin and he coined the name {Puney}. When he would see me he would hug me and say {Hey Puney}. Oh! how I will miss that. He was tall in statue and kindness. If you knew him you liked
him! He loved me and I loved him. He was my nephew. Rest in peace. God Bess all the loved ones.
With sadness and love!
