Dennis was born in Abbottsford, British Columbia on March 4, 1953. After high school Dennis attended University of British Columbia for a year and then transferred to DeVry Institute of Technology in Toronto, Ontario. Dennis worked for Linotype, and Heidelberg as a product specialist working on laser copier printing machines for the newspaper and printing industry before moving on to be employed with Handi-bus (Access Calgary) helping with the transportation needs of those with disabilities. His job required him to assist with loading of wheelchairs into the bus, assisting people with care workers and walkers. Dennis loved helping those who needed transportation.

Dennis’ greatest loves were his family, his cozy home and garden, dogs, home cooked meals, sunshine, blue skies, sports of all kinds (especially baseball) and the lumber camp in Fort Francis Ontario.

A Celebration of Life will be held at FOSTER’S GARDEN CHAPEL, 3220 – 4 Street N.W., Calgary (across from Queen’s Park Cemetery) on Saturday, March 16, 2024 at 2:00 p.m.

The family asks those wishing to attend, to wear their favourite sports jersey in memory of Dennis and his love of sports.
