So sorry to hear about Dennis’ passing. I remember him well from
Cloverdale. I had lots of good chats with him. It was only some time last week I spoke about him and wondered how he was getting on. Sincere condolences

Our deepest condolences to the O’Brien family. As far as I can remember, Den would beat the end of the driveway or walking up the road and he would always drop over to have a chat, when he had the plow on his truck he would plow our driveway for us.
We will certainly miss having those little visits, God speed Den, and our thoughts and prayers are with the family, especially Barbara and Donna.

To a wonderful brother

We had fun growing up, went rolling skating, ice skating and good times with “Billy” the horse. My beloved husband Kevin could tell you that. Plus all the times we had shoveling snow. I will miss our Sunday afternoon talks on the phone, but you will be forever in my heart.

Your loving sister
Rose

Childhood memories came back of summers spent in Logy Bay with Nanny, Poppy Uncle Frank, Uncle John Uncle Denny, Aunt Row Barbara and Donna. Visiting Uncle Patty and Aunt Dot, then Aunt Shirley and Uncle Ed. My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. Uncle Denny was a good man may he rest in peace.
