DENNIS, Wilfred James - Passed away peacefully on June 29, 2018.
Predeceased by his beloved wife Helen.
Survived by his son Jim (Sharon) of Toronto and daughter Karen Mulligan (Jim) of Oakville, niece Susan Winslow and nephew Bob Brocklebank (Ann).
Loving grandfather to Brian (Natalie), Jessica (Sophia), Carly and Wesley and great-grandfather to Chloe and Lucas.
Born in Estevan, Saskatchewan in 1923, Wilf's family eventually moved to Owen Sound where he met his wife Helen in high school. Following his service to the Royal Canadian Navy, Wilf and Helen were married in 1946.
He started his career in financial services in Huntsville and then moved to Sudbury, where he opened a Western Tire Store in partnership with two close friends. In 1961, Wilf joined the Corporate division as General Manager, moving the family to London, Ontario and later on to Montreal.
Retiring back to Ontario, Helen and Wilf lived an active lifestyle in Sutton, New Hamburg and later in Oakville. Wilf and Helen's love of dancing and socializing led them to teach square and round dancing throughout their 67 years together.
Wilf liked the challenge of new projects and was always quick to offer help to family and friends. He was devoted to family, enjoyed golf, fishing and reading and was a terrific cook.
In his later years, he designed and created many stained glass works which continue to grace the homes of family and friends. Wilf's sense of humour and kind heart will be fondly remembered.
There will be a private memorial service.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer Society of Canada would be greatly appreciated.
