A native of Ireland, Denis taught philosophy at colleges and universities in Ireland, England, and in the United States. A few years after our father died, he married our mother, Marlene, and became a second father to us. We have never known a more patient, loving, intelligent, and kind human being.
Denis became a resident of Walnut Village in 2012, shortly after our mother died. He lived a happy and active life on the Village side until his failing health made it necessary for him to move to the Care Center at the beginning of 2017.
We will miss him terribly, but are glad that his physical suffering is over and that he is now in heaven. We are grateful for the community that his friends at Walnut Village provided in his final years.
His loving children,
David and Carla Schick, Brian and Michele Schick, Linda Schick, and Suzanne and Byron Lovering
