I enjoyed many debates and conversations with Dennis while working at TLS. I recall the trademark long pauses before he would speak, and that wonderful humour. RIP Dennis.

Dear Lu Ann, it is with the deepest sympathy that we send this note. We are sorry to hear of the loss of Dennis. It was a true pleasure to know him. We have fond memories of curling together with you both at Bayview. The Rotary curling trip to Scotland will forever live in our memories of Dennis of how to live large and experience life. Your love and support of him throughout his health challenges with cancer was endearing to see. May you forever cherish his memory.
In sympathy and support,
Marilyn and Dave Massey

Hi Lu Ann, I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of Dennis. We spent many happy evenings sharing a beer with other former scout leaders. He was a welcome addition to the group.

Dennis you will be missed. So many adventures and fun times. You were always dependable for creating a good time: From our days at Prince of Wales public school, through our high school days with spring break trips to Florida, parties at Mosport, Kingston and Toronto, and good times thereafter, you were by my side laughing and joking. Always a good time. I will miss you so much.

Dear LuAnn and Kris,
We are so sorry to lose the bright light that Dennis brought to the world. What wonderful memories our family has of celebrating your wedding with you and other years visiting you on Stoney Lake and in Toronto. He loved life, his family, and new experiences. He was so stoic and determined in his battle with cancer, and we can be sure that he is equally determined and compassionate in this next adventure. Please know how much we love you and think of you at this time! Love, Tom & Nancy, Jessie, Derek & Zach

Lu Ann and Kris I am so sorry for your loss. I am happy to have known Dennis as a friend and fellow curler for almost 10 years now, ever since we started the planning process for the Canada to Scotland 2014 Tour. I am glad that we keep that friendship going, including curling together here in Guelph in Jan 2020. Dennis will be dearly missed by his friends, but I know that is nothing compared to the hole his passing leaves for both of you. My thoughts are with you. Take care of yourselves.

Sharon and I have countless wonderful memories with all of us cooking breakfasts and dinners, boating, playing cards and enjoying each other's company at the Stoney Lake - Kuysten Estate.
When I first met Dennis in the early 80's, I quickly realized that he had the ability to connect distant dots and turn faded ideas into clarity. He was one of the few people I knew who got things 100% of the time, philosophically, practically or politically in a way others could not. He had a talent to shine a light on subject matters others have looked at for years and find radically new ways of seeing them. He was a true business innovator with breakthrough thinking and one who was never afraid to take risks, push ahead even if they were unproven ideas. He was a critical thinker, passionate about realizing countless challenges, however, less ambitious about completing the task on time.
Dennis was also a passionate family guy. A wonderful son, father and husband. All in all, Dennis was an outstanding individual, a great friend and clearly an extraordinary human being. In a world where genuinely good people are few and far between, his memory will remain with us. Dear Lu Ann and Kristopher; as you read our message, may there be comfort in knowing that we are thinking of you.

Dear Lu Ann and Kristopher
Dennis was so brave and courageous and optimistic as he fought the good fight for many years. He never let his trail buddies know that he was suffering. Indeed, his perpetual smile and alert mind made him a much loved member of the Winter Camp Group. He will be missed by us and so many others. His companionship will not soon be forgotten.
We express our deep condolences to you and the extended family. I know you will understand why Fran and I will not be able to attend the funeral. But our thoughts and prayers will be there with you. Good memories of Dennis and his many talents will be the blessing.
