Laurie, Denise and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Dennis was such a kind, generous man. I had the pleasure of spending a few summer afternoons sharing a drink and hearing stories of his time with the RCMP. He was always so thoughtful and a good friend to my mom. He will be missed by all who knew him and I know the many memories will keep him in our thoughts. - Posted by: Cindy Wright (Family friend) on: Feb 01, 2025

I am saddened to read of Dennis's passing and would like to offer my condolences to the family. He was a very kind man and a good friend to me and anyone that worked with him at the MGCC. He was a humble soul who loved his wife and children greatly. He was a wonderful story teller with a great sense of humor, particularly when recounting his time in the RCMP. I'll enjoy my memories of Dennis, and I hope the family will find comfort in them. - Posted by: Jane Wegner (Former colleague) on: Feb 01, 2025

Larry and I were neighbours of Jean and Dennis for many years in St. Norbert. We became good friends, we would stop in and have coffee every 2 to 3 weeks. Once Jean passed we still dropped and in and had coffee and a visit with Dennis. We will miss going to have coffee and all our great conversations with Dennis. RIP Dennis. Larry and Ivy Harrison. - Posted by: ivy Harrison (friend) on: Feb 01, 2025
