Denis was predeceased by his father Raymond; and brother Henry. Dad enjoyed 17 years of happy retirement from the City of Winnipeg Police Department, where he retired as an Inspector in 1985. He spent countless hours in his favourite spot on earth; the garden at the lake and in the boat; fishing for the; "BIG ONE." He also enjoyed his yearly trips to Corpus Christie, Texas with his many American friends. Anyone who knew dad quickly saw he was a man filled with lots of knowledge and spirit that he was more than willing to share. You can shed tears That he is gone Or you can smile Because he lived. You can close your eyes And hope hell come back Or you can open your eyes And see all he has left. Our family has been blessed By having him in our lives.
