His early training ground helped him succeed in logger sports competitions where for many years he held reigning title as the World Champion Peavey Log Roller. Throughout the years Dennis enjoyed fishing, hunting, and coaching softball teams.  Dennis also spent thousands of hours (47 years) as a volunteer firefighter for the community.  <br>In later years Dennis was inspired to design and build a small marina located in the Sooke Harbour. While operating “Jock’s Dock” he enjoyed sitting by the ocean, and he loved passing each day by listening to fishermen tell their big fish stories and watching the eagles soar overhead. All who knew Dennis will remember his sense of humour, his love of family, and his amazing salmon BBQs.  <br>We extend our sincere thanks to all the wonderful health care staff who attended Dennis in the Renal Unit at the Royal Jubilee Hospital.
