Dennis was predeceased by his parents Urben and Therese (nee Labossiere) and his brother Armand in infancy.

Dennis was born July 20th, 1956 at Glenboro hospital. He enjoyed his life on a mixed farm near Greenway, Manitoba. In his younger years he liked being outdoors and would tour around the farm on his three wheeler bike and ski-doo. Dennis could always be found near his beloved mama Therese, helping her with daily activities and partaking in their weekly shopping trips. A child at heart, Dennis always played games with his nephews and nieces and adored his farm equipment toy collection. He had a soft spot for his animals and spent countless hours feeding and petting his numerous kitties and his dear dog “Tippy”. He was very fond of his television “shows”. Dennis loved to tend to his laundry and took pride in his immaculate home. Going to town for the mail, groceries and dinner with Anne was the highlight of his week. The family will miss Dennis’s unique character and special sense of humor but we are happy to know you are now resting in peace.

The family would like to express a sincere Thank-you to Doctor Desmond, Doctor Dawood and all the staff at Lorne Memorial Hospital for the exceptional care they provided Dennis, our Brother and Uncle.
