Dennis passed away unexpectedly from a cardiac arrest on 13th March 2022, aged 74, at his home in Camberwell, South London.

Dennis will be sadly missed by all who knew him, especially by his daughter Victoria with whom he had a close relationship.

Dennis was born and raised  in the east end of London. He came from a large family and was always surrounded by many relatives and friends. Bethnal Green was the place where he lived, worked, married and had a child of his own. He later moved over to south London where he ended up staying until his passing. At the time of his death he was still employed by the NHS and was working full time at the Maudsley Hospital as a night porter. A job he really enjoyed and held since 2001.

He worked throughout the pandemic, never missing a shift. Ignoring any risks to his own health and stated on numerous occasions that he would rather be at work doing something,  than sitting at home doing nothing.

Dennis led a fulfilled life. He was adventurous, he loved animals, all sports, especially football, playing and watching. He was a IifeIong ArsenaI supporter. He loved going to the theatre, which he had done countless times over the years and loved music with a passion.

Dennis always lived his life the way he wanted to. If he had any regrets, he never spoke about them and preferred not to dwell on the past. He was a strong willed and determined person. If he had something to say, he would definitely say it.

“Even though a failing heart took him away from this life. It is his loving heart that will always be remembered by those who knew him best”
