I have made this page on behalf of my *Grandad* who sadly past away on the 19th July 2008.
He was re-tired from the army after serving 30 years or so, including his time with the British Legion. He has severd and lived in Many countrys including Singapore, Malaysia, Kenya and Germany. He was highly thought of as a friend, family memember and active memeber of the British Legion.
He had 3 children and 5 step-children, Not to mention the large number of Grandchildren & Great-Grandchildren.
He had been with his Partner (My Gran) For over 18 years and used to regulary call her 'the love of my life' that summed Dennis up totally.... Kind, Loveing, Giving, Caring, Generous, and most of all my Grandad.... My grandma has taken his death the hardist, she still crys now for him! When Dennis left he took apart of my Grandma with him.....
His death on the 19th of July didnt come as a shock to the family but that doesnt make it any easyer for any of us. My Grandad battled with a long and painfull cancer. The only comfort i take from his death is that he is finally out of his pain. The hospice that cared for him in his last days was an amazing place and will always be part of the familys life. We can never thank the staff at Overgate Hospice Elland Enough.
His funrel was a lovely event with the British Legion in attendance. His coffin was coverd in the Union Jack and a last post salute rounded the service off perfectly.
Me and Dennis always had a ongoing private joke where he used to call me 'Rhodesy' and i called him 'Greeny' Its small things like that, that i miss and i think i always will.
I keep a photo of Dennis and my oldest son on my mantel piece. It was taken at my son's christening on April 17th 2005... He looked so different in that picture to the man he became whilst he was ill
Loosing a loved one is hard on everyone... And there are always things you wish you would or should have said when someone close passes away, so please when you have taken time out to read this make sure you let your loved ones know how much you care and love them as you never know if it could be your last time.
I miss Dennis sooooo much some days it doesnt seam real that he is gone, he was just an amazing person and life without him is difficult.
May he always watch over us!
Please if you could Now light a candle in honour of a brilliant man who will be forever MISSED xxx
R.I.P = AND MAY GOD LOVE HIM
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes I watched you, and saw you pass away. Although I loved you dearly, I could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke my heart to prove to me, He ......only takes the BEST.
If we could have a lifetime wish
and one dream that could come true
We would pray to God with all our
hearts just to see and speak to you
A thousand words won’t bring you back
We know because we’ve tried
and neither will a million tears
We know because we’ve cried
You’ve left behind our broken hearts
and precious memories too
But we’ve never wanted memories
We only wanted you
Across the years, I can recall,
my grandad one way best of all.
Sitting on the sofa watching sports,
working on a crossword of sorts.
"put some socks on" he always said,
as he tucked us into bed.
he asked "aren't you cold?"
at the time we just thought he was grumpy and old.
But looking back at his life
it showed he cared about his family and wife.
he always listen to pulse in the car
I always thought it was rather bizarre.
Endless knowledge, he always spat out.
he loved us all, without a doubt.

Thankyou
Hiya Dennis. Thankyou so much for tonight, Grandma really needed it.
We wasnt expecting much when we went to see Bridget Benson (Medium) But when you came through for us it was amazing ... It was like it wasnt real.
Were glad your safe and well and im sooooo happy that you come and watch over grandma. We always new deep down that it was you who was there but we thought we might have been imagining it.
Im happy you could hear us talking to you in your final hours even if you couldnt answer at least you would have heard us tell you we love you dennis.
God bless
I Love You x (Grandaughter Coley)
I Miss You
I miss you, Dennis, very much,
You gave my life a special touch;
You did get angry and you did get mad,
But when you were gone I was nothing but sad;
Now that you've left I feel there's nothing more,
A piece of my heart, I felt was torn;
I went to see you I really did try,
But I knew it would be our last good-bye;
I saw your Angel she opened my eyes,
Even since then, I'm not afraid to cry;
I carry your Angel here by my side,
It is in her, that I can confide;
I know one day we'll be together,
I will long for that day forever and ever
My deepest sympathy
Amanda, what a lovely tribute, you must be so proud of Grandad. My husband sadly passed of cancer in Jan, and to have a loved one pass of this awful disease is heartbreaking. Grandad is now free of pain and in God's safe hands. God Bless Dennis and all of the family. Jean xx
Always & Forever
You wasnt my biological Grandad, but you was my true grandad.
You supported me
You loved me
And you showed me the kind of affection a Grandad should show... I miss not been able to call you Greeny and i miss us not being able to wind each other up but most of all i miss you not smiling at me and telling me how proud you are of my sons - your great-grandsons.
I hope you are safe and comfotable and i wish you could keep your eye on Grandma (She still needs you)
Love you always and forever Greeny! :o)
