Dennis has been listed in the Last Post Lists in the latest issue of the NSW RSL Reveille magazine. His service records show that he trained as a EAA and paid off as a CEAP. If I remember correctly, I meet Dennis a number of times at meetings, when he was lobbying heavily for naval personnel who did trips to Vietnam in Sydney, Escorts, Japerit and Boonaroo recieve recognition. He did serve in Sydney, but never actually did any trips to Vietnam. Yet he was determined to achieve recognition for others. BZ He was not the only one lobbying, but I thank him for his efforts. My condolence to his family and friends. |

I remember Dennis, unfortunately I can't recall the interactions I had with him. It may have been something to do with his fight for the Sydney guys regognition or maybe the huge MOBI reunion in Canberra in 2006. He really was a great guy. Rest in peace mate.

I never knew/ met Dennis, but heard his name mentioned plenty of times... Regardless, it's always sad to lose a MOBI Pioneer... Rest on your oars Dennis, your journey's done... VALE R.I.P.

Crossed paths with Dennis on several postings at sea and ashore, particulary at Nirimba during a couple of postings, and as others have said he was a really nice guy. Vale Dennis, RIP condolences to his family and friends. |
