Dennis was born in Montreal where he lived and attended Loyola College.  He joined the insurance industry after receiving his BA and rose to a very senior position with the Continental Insurance Company.  After several moves, he made Vancouver his home and became an insurance broker.  Dennis loved all sports and was active in golf, biking, fishing, and boating.  He participated and supported many charities and did it well with his outgoing and friendly personality.
