Dennis was a remarkable man, who loved life and treasured his beloved family. He triumphed over many serious illnesses and baffled many by reaching his 90th birthday last Christmas. He spent 67 years with his beloved wife Barbara and treasured his family including his Great Grandsons, to whom he was known as Grandad Duck. Sadly, after battling serious illnesses over the past thirty years, Alzheimer’s had started to take away the Dennis we knew. But nothing prepared him or us his family for the ravaging Corvid 19. This was a battle he could not win and sadly without any of his loved ones being able to be with him, he passed away in the early hours of Good Friday, 10th April 2020.

If dad was able to stand here just now for a few minutes, this is what he would be saying to us all.
Dry your tears and laugh again, let go your hurt, release your pain.
Accept that my time on Earth was complete,
My lessons all learned some bitter some sweet,
Envisage me, healthy and strong,
Don’t hold the memory of where it went wrong,,
Know that the place where I am feels so right,
I’m surrounded by love and bathed in white light.
Don’t cling onto heartache and think I’m afar,
For I stand by your side, wherever you are,
In your joy and your sorrow, every night every day,
I am there with my love, just one thoughts away.
Step into the sunshine, come out of the rain,
For me dry your tears, for me laugh again.
Love you forever dad and miss you so so much,
Good night and God bless you Christinexxxxxxxx
Dennis was an extremely loveable man. His smile was so infectious. It was a pleasure to spend time with Dennis and i can confidently say he will be missed by all that got the pleasure of knowing him. My thoughts go out to all his loved ones. He couldnt have asked for a more loving or supportive family. Xxx
We will remember Dennis as a lovely, kind, generous gentleman who had a huge sense of fun and a twinkle in his eye. He loved life and he loved his family who meant the world to him. Thanks for lots of happy memories Dennis you.'ll be missed. xxxx
Hi Den, just called by to say Thanks before you nip off;
- Thanks for my family Den, for without you I would never have met my Christine and had my son, met Catherine and been blessed with two beautiful grandchildren.
- Thanks for the guidance, advice and help on all the projects we‘ve done together. Big and small.
- Thanks for the chat and banter we’ve shared watching City and playing golf.
- Thanks for the unwavering limitless support you’ve given without reservation when needed.
- Thanks for all the laughs we've had, and there’s been plenty.
- Thanks for holding me, and mine, in that loving spiritual embrace you had that only those who knew you can appreciate.
- Thanks that I am proud not only to call you my Father-in Law but also my best mate.
- Thanks for all the smiles.
“Hey Rock on Tommy.”
