Dennis' farewell message

For the last 10+ years, you've been my stepdad but all my life you've been around.

* tucking us in as Santa on Christmas Eve as preschooler

* laughing at your shananigans at Lynden Community Day for years

* calling me out while umpiring our baseball games

*waking us early with your annoying "morning song" as teenagers

*welcoming the 5 of us to into your home on our 4wk return to Canada

*making sure my mum was by my side when I needed surgery

You were a kind, generous, funny man who people warmed to instantly. You brightened my mums' life and I'm very thankful to you for this. You will be remebered and missed so much. May you rest in peace Den

Love and prayers always, Sheila, Tim, Ella, Jessica, Lachlan and Baby Sharpe
