Dear Jackie, Alice, Irene, Roseanne and families,
We were so sorry to hear of Dennis’s passing this week. His life was cut far too short. Please know, that Bill and I are thinking of you all during this difficult time. From our family to yours, our deepest sympathy.

Jackie + family. Our hearts go out to you for the loss of a best friend, husband, dad, and opa. We know there are no words that can ease your pain, but hold onto and reminice about the MANY memories you made together. It was always a fun time on the Bronson Line – growing up just a few farms down the road, Dennis was always the life of the party and would not hesitate to help a neighbour in need. No one is ever prepared to say goodbye under such tragic circumstances. Stay strong and lean on loved ones who can offer comfort during this unimaginably painful time. Please accept our sincerest condolences for your loss.

Earl and Julia MArtene

To Jackie and your girls, and all who loved Dennis.

We were so saddened to hear the news. Though its been awhile since we sat around summer campfires at Greg and Cheryl’s, or caught up with each other at a snowmobile cabin on a Saturday night or a Sunday afternoon, those memories will always remain as really good ones.

Please know you are in our thoughts during this difficult time. Wishing you comfort, peace and support of those who love you.

Julie and Earl

On Saturday October 25th the Bronson Line community lost its spark of life with Dennis’s passing. He was the neighbour that was always in tune with what was happening in the community. When he would come driving in my drive way some mornings after his daily crop scouting of his crops I knew I would be kept up to date on the latest happenings on the Bronson Line. When I first heard of his illness I thought Dennis will be able to beat this with his strength. It was not to be! We will do our best to keep his memory alive for his family. And when his neighbours and friends finish up harvesting his crops and completing the fall work for Jackie and the girls we will all remember this is exactly what Dennis would have done for his neighbours. As a community we will continue to support his family in the days ahead and hopefully help them try to understand to not only have an answer to that question of WHY but also to WHY NOW at this stage of life! Your neighbour, friend and cousin Pat O’Rourke

Jackie and family
Our condolences to you Jackie and all the Family.

Reading through these tributes, the common thread is one of relationship. Connecting with Dennis was impactful. From our Mt Carmel days riding the backroads with Harv, to my Dad telling me how he had consulted with Dennis on a course they both needed to take, Dennis was all-in, and he seemed to always find the fun. The sting of his departure will be felt, but the memories and stories will endure forever. Sending love and prayers to the entire family.
