Dennis and Mary were such a sweet couple.
I always loved going to visit.
It was so apparent how important family was to Dennis and how adored he was by his family and especially the children. God bless you Mary and family.

My heart is broken as I see this. Dennis was one of the great men. I was fortunate enough to have shared an office with Dennis at Dept. of Mines & Energy. I loved his quick witt & the tinkle in his eye. Always happy & so loved Mary & his family. His family were his world & will be missed by all who loved him. Keep him safe in your arms Lord! So sorry for your loss!

So sorry to hear of Dennis's illness and passing. It was a great pleasure to know him and to work with him in Stellarton at the Mines Building and out sometimes in the more remote parts of the Province. Dennis knew how to get things done and led by example and good humour. A thoroughly decent man, he didn't suffer fools gladly. I was honoured to have him as a friend as well as co-worker. My sincere condolences to all the family. Hold the memories close!

My sincerest condolences to Dennis' family. Like all the old Dept. of Mines gang, I have lots of memories of Dennis always being there to figure out a way to get things done when everyone else was standing around scratching their heads (he might have used a different word). A unique character who will be sorely missed.

When I first met Dennis and Mary, I was dating their son George and had two children to a former marriage, Shalyn 8 and Ryan 4! I can remember how nervous I was, that all disappeared as soon as I opened the kitchen door! I/we were greeted with open arms and hugs, I felt like I knew them forever! I have gone on to thank them in the following years for the love and affection towards all our children alike! (The 6 pack) Now I would like to express my gratitude to Dennis one last time; on the wings of an Angel take your place in Heaven and be proud of the Father, father-in-law and especially Grandfather you have been to us all! Your memories will go on forever in the hearts of our children! From the words of our babies!
❤
DEAR GRANDPA
As a little child I would visit you, just a short drive away,
You always were so kind and invited us to stay,
Now we say goodbye to you until we meet again,
In the land of perfect Angels where we'll visit now and then.....Love you forever, Patsy, George and Family!

Dennis and Mary came into my life, as a high school student in New Ross, in 1963. A hard working, fun loving man, that knew family was always first. Through University as a summer student, and later as a fellow employee with Dennis at the Mines Building in Stellarton. He was always the same. A genuine, honest and great Canadian. God Bless all your family. Love. Wynne and Judy.

I have so many fond memories, of Dad I dont know where to begin. The image of him sitting with as many grand children on his lap that he could hold, is tribute to the type of man he was. Each one thinking they are his "favorite" but the truth was they all were. Thats how I would like to remember him.
Thank you for being the best father we could have asked for. You will be dearly missed but in our hearts, forever.
Love eternally,
Shannan and Darryl
