I feel blessed for knowing Denis! We went to different trips together. One he like a lot was at the St Jacob’s Miniature Train museum. These miniature houses and people transported him back in his youth. He was showing me brands, stores, products he was familiar with.
A week before his passing, my husband and I went to visit him and talked about the good all times. We missed him at our Christmas lunch at the Mandarin, especially because this was when we celebrated his birthday. One time the waitress brought him a red cowboy hat to distinguish the birthday boy, but he wouldn’t put it on initially, so Marguerite did. They hugged each other and this was his Birthday photo.
On Sundays, we met for the prayer group and I was always rushing to get back to my daily chores. But Denis and Marguerite would stay to take care of the church.
I always looked to Denis when I was down and just remembering his commitment and unending energy helped me to pull myself up.
I know that I will miss him, especially at our Seniours events, but his selfless life will be always an example for me! And I know that there are so many lives changed because of his kindness!
