Posted on: Tuesday, September 10, 2024I will miss Uncle Dennis more than words can express. I will cherish and seek comfort in all the wonderful memories we created over the years. The time I was convinced he had shipped himself to me in a large package he sent for my 4th or 5th birthday, the cross country trip to BC that he took me, Stephen, Randy, and Paul on, his dance moves and water skiing pose, and the amazing wedding cake he made with love for my wedding are just a few of those great memories.
I am so thankful I told him I loved him every time we spoke on the phone. My life was richer because of his love.

Posted on: Friday, September 27, 2024Uncle Dennis I know you are in a better place, ever since I moved out from my parents all those years ago I lost my time with you and others. I wish I had more time to see you, hope you would have attended my wedding and got to see my first child eventually. But not having you in my life anymore hurts but I will always remember you and cherish all the time I had with you. I love you uncle Dennis and I hope you are in a place of eternal happiness and peace.
