Pup enjoyed gardening, traveling, playing games with friends and family and sharing his many jokes, funny sayings and stories at family gatherings. He was often found tinkering with and exploring new gadgets, trying to fix anything that needed fixing. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He was truly a family man and especially enjoyed our weekly family dinners, followed by him and Ang beating Linda and Pete in a good game of crib and giving Cali some loving belly rubs.

He will be deeply missed by his loving wife, Linda (Murphy) Hennessy; stepson, Peter MacIvor; daughter-in-law, Angela MacIvor; aunts, Eleanor Hennessy, Marjorie Keddy, Ruth Purcell and Sister Mary Stanislaus; many in-laws, friends and his beloved fur baby Cali.
