Dennis Patrick Coughlan

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dennis, in his 76th year, at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Hamilton, after a short-term illness. Cherished husband and best friend of Jan for 50 years.

Beloved father of Conor and Corinne (Sandy) and grandpa to Devlin, Maeve and Brendan. Son of the late John and Victoria (Durocher) Coughlan. Predeceased by siblings: Patsy Britti, Dorothy Walton, Carol Campbell, John, Charlie, Mike & Peter Coughlan & brothers & sisters in law Nick Britti, Emery Kaposy, Bill Walton, Charlie Campbell, Hazel, Virgina & Mary Coughlan. He will be lovingly remembered by surviving brothers and sisters, Maureen, Leonard, Kitty (Cyril) and will be sadly missed by many nieces, nephews and friends. Also left to mourn are Carole Gleeson (Andy) & Kim & Paddy Gleeson. In addition to being a long-time employee of Dofasco (35 years), many fond memories were created with friends and family travelling to Irish Dance competitions around North America. He was always up for a good laugh and will be remembered for his sense of humour. In his later years, he very much cherished his regular brunches with siblings and extended family. The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to the nurses and doctors at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Charlton campus.
