Dennis left an enormous imprint on the hearts of those that had the privilege to know him. He was quick witted, humorous and loved to tell jokes and stories. He had a passion for fishing and the outdoors. he was in his happy place when he was out in the boat, or on his side-by-side riding the trails; or having a jaunt down the cape on his Skidoo. His time with family and friends meant everything to him. He will be forever missed but his kindness, generosity and infectious grin will be remembered forever.
