John Daley wrote a sympathy message

“I was saddened to hear of Denis's passing. I worked with Degagne Equipment over 45 years ago. He was a fine employer and a good friend. Our association with Kinsmen offered me an opportunity for some great times. A fond memory was when Denis would ask for a cigarette from me. Occasionally, he would give me a carton of cigarettes with a line drawn in the middle. On 1/2 he had written "for the cigs I have bummed" and on the other 1/2 "for the cigs I'm going to bum". R.I.P. Denis Condolences.”
