Following successful treatment for depression at Seven Oaks, he was beginning to enjoy life in December and January, when he was involved in a very unfortunate incident at his home when he was again admitted to Seven Oaks for severe injuries from which he never recovered. Dennis is survived by two daughters, one granddaughter and three grandsons; also four brothers, one sister and their families. He was predeceased by his parents Ben and Helen Klippenstein and two brothers.

Interment at Darlingford Cemetery prior to the service. The family at this time wish to extend a very sincere thank you to Dr. W. Lebedin and the wonderful staff of the psychiatric ward at Seven Oaks for their care during Dennis' stay there; and also to Dr. P.
