It was very sad to hear of Dennis’ passing. I grew up as a neighbour to Dennis and his family on Selkirk Ave. in Winnipeg. I can truly say that I learned a lot from Dennis and had some really memorable experiences with him and with his brothers and sister. My condolences to everyone who was close to him. Dennis was a really great guy.
