To the Uchytil family, It is with a very heavy heart I write this. I want to extend my most sincere sympathy to you. I have known Dennis since he began work at the City. He started out as a coworker but very quickly became one of my closest friends. I have many, many fond memories of him that I will cherish forever. Dennis was a big man with a big heart. When I moved to Springbrook he was so kind to me. He would come and help me at the drop of a hat. One time I was trying to fix my bathroom faucet and of course ended up with water spraying everywhere. I was standing in the bathroom trying to bail it out and my then 10 year old son Adam called Dennis. Come quick, Mom?s in trouble he said. Dennis was there in a flash, turned the water off and gave me a lecture about calling 1-800-DENNIS. I told him I didn?t want to take advantage of him calling him every time I needed something done. He said as long as I took him chocolate chip cookies when I was baking we would be even. Dennis got a lot of cookies from me. Rod and Carol, do you know that for the 1st few years I knew him I didn?t know you had names. He always called you Little Brother and Little Sister. It was very endearing. He was fun. He had a knack for putting his foot in his mouth and then we would tease him. One particular time I can think of is Lori from work came in with some candy. Dennis said to our manager ?Dale, you knock Lori down and I?ll grab her goodies!? We teased him about that for a long time! When I was having problems with my teens he would always listen and offer advice, I always tried to be a shoulder for him as well. We had bbq?s together, we had hot tub parties together, we watched the air shows together. We even watched the Rebels win the Memorial Cup. Some of the best times we had were around the campfire at Scott and Linda?s. But we made a pact that what goes on at the campfire stays at the campfire! When he was at work we had lunch together and played yahtzee just about every day He was a good friend and I hope he knew how many people cared about him. No one met Dennis that didn?t like him. How many people leave that as a legacy? I am very sad that he is gone. I will miss him forever.
