Dear Tracey, Jenna and Gregory
Shocked and saddened to hear of Dennis' passing, far too soon~
The loss of someone we love is always difficult to accept creating a sense of devastation and emptiness that seems to have no end.  Fortunately we have memories of many good times spent together and hopefully they are a source of strength.  Dennis was a very proud father and a wonderful neighbour.  May God bless you during this period; we will pray for your strength in dealing with your loss.  We hope you are keeping well.
With Sincere Sympathy, Stephen & Donna Forrester


I haven’t known DJ as long as many but when we met he and Tracey  welcomed my family and myself into their life like I had known them forever. 
I was part of the family and over the years have made many great memories from cottage trips to late night euchre games at he house. By far the best neighbours I’ve ever had. 
Will never forget you DJ.
Rest in peace and know that Tracey, Greg and Jenna are in good hands
Xoxo


We met your family on our honeymoon in Jamaica just a couple of years ago. We truly enjoyed spending time with you, laughing together and sharing stories. We are so sorry for your loss and the pain you’re going through! Our deepest condolences to your family!

Dear Tracey, my deepest condolences to you and your family. Hoping that all the wonderful memories you have will help you go through these very difficult times.

I knew Dennis since public school. I can't remember DJ ever saying an unkind word about anyone! Joyful and enthusiastic, he was the "host with the most" since a very young age, something I suspect he learned from his dad. Epic pig roasts and one part of the cutest high school couple ever! Xo

Dennis I know you can hear us just as we can still hear you if we close our eyes. So you must be overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and loss we all feel now and the outrage that we feel as you were taken from this world so young. There are really so few people with your energy, your charisma, your style, your generosity and your charm in this life and you will remain forever as a larger-than-life legend and always in our memories, Dennis. 
You should not be gone but you will NEVER be forgotten.

Tracey, Jenna and Gregory, we, the Anderson family, Greg, Charlene, Rachel and Andrew are so sad to hear of DJ’s passing.  DJ was a wonderful person and truly was the life of the party.   This is such a huge loss and such a shock.  We send our love and strength for you all to face this hard time.  Hugs to you all.  We are thinking of you. 

When Dennis and Tracey were in high school, Dennis kept asking Tracey out and she kept saying no.  One day Dennis called me and said “Please get Tracey to say yes next time I ask her out and I promise you one date will be all it takes”, so I did and he was right.  For those who knew Dennis, you will have to agree he made everyone’s life more fun.  He was kind and very generous to everyone and  and an important person in our family.  We miss you and love you Dennis.

Our nephew-in-law is one of the kindest and biggest personalities our family gets to enjoy.  Nothing was ever to big or to small to do for someone.  Rest In Peace Dennis.  It is a privilege to have you  as part of our family.  You will always be remembered as we tell each other DJ stories.  ❤️❤️

Our family, Jane and Kaylee would like to extend our sincere condolences from our family to yours.  We will not be able to make the service as Jane and I are traveling for business and Kaylee is in school in the UK but we wanted to say hello.  I saw a video yesterday of Keanu Reeves speaking with Stephen Colbert.  At the end of the interview Colbert asked Keanu out of the blue about what he thinks happens when you die.  Reeves pondered silently for a moment and said "the people who love you, miss you"  Colbert smiled broadly at the truth of that statement and shook his hand with no further comment.  In that simple truth nothing more needed to be said.

Please accept our deepest condolences from the Greenidge Family.


I’m so sorry for the sudden loss of Dennis “DJ” . Although many years have past since playing rugby for Dunbarton / Ajax wanderers; DJ always made me feel a part of an extended family. 

When Bob and Mary Lou purchased waterfalls lodge near my reservation it was even more Magical since my relatives got the opportunity to experience this welcoming feeling.

I on behalf of my family wish to express our deepest condolences for your loss of a dear son, husband, and friend.

Dennis,

Even though we have met you for a small period, you made us feel like family. Your big heart was always ready for new people. Openminded and full energy for life. You will be missed so much. 
Thanks for knowing you!
Hope we meet  again someday😘


Over that past 10 years I've had the pleasure of being the Rogers family Travel Agent, I have really enjoyed working with Dennis and Tracey on a regular basis. Dennis was always kind and respectful, and had such a wonderful sense of humour. He could always make me laugh and perk up a rough day at the office, he was also well liked by all of my colleagues for the same reasons’. 

The holidays he was always so passionate about often came to him at the cottage, while having a great time surrounded by friends and family! I will miss these enthusiastic calls and the trust and respect he showed me throughout the years.  His amazing personality and generous nature will be greatly missed and my heart is truly heavy for his wife and children. 

Rest in Peace Dennis



DJ you were always so kind and generous.  I remember your great meals and gregarious personality.   You will be greatly missed at all our family gatherings.  Tracey, Jenna and Greg, you are in our thoughts and prayers.  Praying that God will give you his peace and presence through this time.  We love you all, Uncle Dave and Aunty Wendy. 

So very very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. 

We were very saddened to hear of D.J’s passing.  Being his first neighbours on Miskwabi Lake we witnessed what a terrific husband and father Dennis was and how his love of life was spread so  generously amongst his family and many close friends.  Our very sincere condolences.

I'm not sure when our paths crossed or why. I do know that over the years Dennis was one of those guys that did what he said, his commitment and drive evident and ever present.  His energy and knowledge with the collective team gathered at Dynamix driving to better the metal finishing industry.
I'm sure his legacy, industrial involvement, they way he treated his customers will not be lost or forgotten. I'm sure he lead his personal life the same way.
I will miss the next conversation. 

I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dennis. Although I knew him for only a short time, he was a very generous man with his time, knowledge, and resources. Always only a phone call away day or night to support anyone in need. My most heartfelt and sincere condolences to the Family, on their loss. He will certainly be missed.

We have lost part of our family, a dear friend DJ.  Our memories from the first cottage, to the love shack and to the Rogers Centre at Miskawbi will last the rest of our lives.  You enriched our lives in love, laughter and music.  You will be missed but not forgotten

rest in peace
Love Brian & Helen

I am deeply saddened by the loss of my good friend Dennis.  He was a true professional and a personal confidant.  With my many years in the metal finishing industry and Dennis’ chemical background, together we solved many chemical problems. During our professional time together, we also developed a close personal friendship.  We loved the same things - family, sports and cottage life.  His love of cottage life and his pride of creating his family retreat by the lake was always the first topic of our conversations.  Dennis was a man of tremendous generosity - generosity of time, advice, helpfulness but most importantly generosity  of spirit.  He was always there to give whatever you needed.  Together he and Tracy were a wonderful team.  My wife Marion and I will always treasure the times we spent social occasions together.  Whether it be at a Leafs’ hockey game as his guests or at the lakeside boating on his boat, we will remember his generosity, and his zest for life.  Rest in peace dear friend.  You are in God’s loving care.

The loss of a friend is like the sinking of a ship upon an empty sea. It slowly descends and deepens onto your consciousness, until its weight & gravity finally come to rest at the bottom of your heart. It’s 4 o’clock in the morning & feeling like just another sleepless night, when suddenly, like waves of the ocean, the realization, memories, moments & emotions come rolling in, crashing hard into the depths of my soul. 
He was a husband a father & a friend.  He was a hard, but fair, no nonsense man on the outside, opinionated, stubborn, obstinate & pertinacious, but inside he was  warm, welcoming & kind, with a great big heart that was two sizes too big. His benevolence knew no bounds & he was the sort of man that welcomed everyone & would drop whatever he was doing to help or lend a hand to anyone.
We didn’t always see eye to eye, but we always had a laugh, knowing each others limits well, and exactly what buttons when pushed were the most reactionary. I think I’ll remember most, that deviant smirk which would broaden into a great big smile when he knew he had bested or gotten the better of me, lol. 
But most of all, he was a kind, generous soul & he was my friend !  
Blue Rodeo , fireside banters, crazy drink concoctions & after dinner ports will never sound or taste quite the same. 
You are already missed.
Sleep in heavenly peace DJ,

Dennis was an asset to his field, business and friends. He was generous with his time and considerable knowledge and always had time to help anyone with a problem, even if it wasn't concerning  his product.  He simply enjoyed a challenge and helping people he knew.  He always made the day more interesting. Certainly going to miss conversations with him. The industry has lost a leader.
