Anyone have any thoughts about those of us that go to his funeral, should wear the club colours or shirt he was so proud to wear?

[ButlerMFC]

It would be down to the family and i think it should be left that way.

[MargateFan]

Perhaps his family could let us know?

Hi im sarah, Dennis's neice. I know for sure that dennis would love it if u wore the teams colours for his funeral

[ooh!!bodyform]

i had a nice pm from saralou and i made a suggestion, IF the club are still going down the avenue of laying bricks in the new ground i would help start a collection to buy him one and have some words enscribed on it.

[MargateFan]

Excellent idea.

[MargateFan]

Of course, we may have to wait awhile for that.

 

Howabout, as an interim measure, if anyone has captured a typical Dennis photo, we get it framed, and find a suitable place on the wall of the clubhouse (MISA and Club in agreement)? He could always be found post game, pint in hand, chatting to everyone, with his own appropriate comments with reference our performance.

 

If anyone deserves a place it is him.

on that note June if anyone can supply me with a decent digital photo of dennis, i will print it (huge) for posterity. PM me if anyone has such a photo - only too pleased to oblige for such a decent guy

Hello everyone

 

I am John brother of Dennis, i am absolutely overwhelmed with sentiments and tributes left on this site! I am sorry that i havent been able to leave any information untill now as i have had a nightmare of a task having Dennis repatriated. However hopefully things are now sorted. Tom Mckenna (hopefully that is spelt correctly) has been in touch and i will keep him informed of details as soon as i have something confirmed about funeral dates ect.

Thankyou everyone for being a friend of Dennis, we all know he was one in a million and will be sorely missed by his family and friends.

 

Regards John

Our thoughts are with you and your family, John. Dennis will always be with us home and away. He truly was and is loved by all of us who knew him.

A loss to the club & to the terraces, may he watch over the rest of us & the game whenever the Gate take to the pitch.

 

Always remembered, Never Forgotten!!

Hello everyone, the latest news on Dennis is that he is on his way home today, Blackburns undertakers from Broadstairs will be collecting Dennis from Gatwick to bring him home.

 

Funeral arrangements have not been finalised but I will keep everyone informed on this thread.

 

I hope that friends of Dennis will read todays Isle of Thanet Gazette as Alex Mcnally has done a wonderful job of a tribute to Dennis on page 6, Many thanks for that Alex!

[BlueGate Alan]

Thanks for info John. Yes read the tribute was very good and a great picture of Dennis too.
