Patrick Dennis

DENNIS, Patrick Wilfred - Died on Saturday, November 25, 2017 at Caressant Care in Woodstock at the age of 75, following a lengthy battle with dementia and cancer. He leaves his three daughters, Holly Stewart (Brad), Tracy Van Kalsbeek (Jason) and Kelli Dennis (Jamie); his grandchildren Jessy, Katelyn, Cassidy, Madylin and Alexandria; his brothers Ken Dennis (Gloria), Gary Dennis (Isabel) and David Dennis (Debbie) and sisters Viola Deller (Stewart), Gloria McGilveary (Dan) and Angela Dennis. Born and raised in Woodstock, the son of Wilfred and Rose (nee Thomas) Dennis, Patrick was a lifelong resident of the "Friendly City." Growing up, he enjoyed playing with his brothers and friends at the Fairgrounds and became quite the avid boxer. As a young man, Patrick joined the army and traveled the country before returning to Woodstock and starting a family. He worked at Standard Tube in various different roles before retiring. He loved camping, fishing, animals, golfing, going to the gym and playing darts and billiards at the Legion. Patrick was a strong supporter of Alcoholics Anonymous and helped many who were struggling with addiction and felt defeated. His family would like to take this opportunity to thank the kind staff at Caressant Care, who took very good care of Patrick in his final years. Cremation has already taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held at Brock and Visser Funeral Home 845 Devonshire Ave., Woodstock (519-539-0004), on Wednesday, November 29, 2017 at 6:00 pm, with refreshments to follow. A private burial will occur at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Oxford Community Foundation. Personal condolences at www.brockandvisser.com
