We look back with warmth at Dennis, remembering his big heart and gentle soul that comforted us all. That time in PEI, when our grandson became fond of him despite his illness, warmed our hearts. His trips to the Shrines Hospital didn't dim his spirit nor lessen his love for life's little adventures. We will forever cherish the shared memories with him. Sending all our love and sympathy along with a big bear hug.

We are still in shock, 2 weeks later that you have suddenly passed away. Life is too short. We miss you dearly Dennis, Thanks for being such a wonderful friend to us and our family. My mother was glad that she was able to talk on the phone with you just before you passed away. She never thought it would be her last time speaking with you.

My heartfelt condolences to the entire Sheehy family. I remember Dennis so well from all his visits to the Shriners. He had an infectious smile and was truly missed after we no longer saw him as an adult. He was truly blessed with a loving family.
Rest in peace Dennis

I first met 'Mr. Sheehy' when he worked at my school as a lunch monitor. I was Principal at Duc D'Anville at the time when I first met Dennis. He strolled into my office with a big smile and a positive attitude. Loved that about Dennis! I then reconnected with Dennis this year when he came to my new school. Dennis loved life and we loved that about him!
I am keeping you all close to my heart and in my prayers. Thank you for sharing Dennis with us.

Dear Vern, Teresa, Rick and Paige
I am so sorry to hear the sad news of Dennis’ passing.
I only new Dennis as a wonderful little boy, when your family had the cottage at “ The Hebrides” here in PEI. He was so sweet and full of spunk and nothing held him back, in spite of his health. He was bursting with personality and I only wish I could have known him in his later years, as I am sure he would have grownup to be an incredible young man.
Cling to the sweet memories you have of Dennis for strength during this difficult time.
Sending Hugs and prayer

I have known and worked with Dennis for the last year. He was funny with a quick smile, spoke fondly of his “kids” and loved his Tim’s. His health concerns were challenging and we had many a discussion about his care but he was always respectful and we developed a strong trust. I will miss him. My condolences to his family .

I am very shocked and so sad to hear that Dennis passed away. Especially considering his age.
I just seen him around the start of March and he seemed okay, so sad.
I have known him since I was a little boy seeing him in passing when he lived on Bayers Road while outside with my dad.
Then many chats and conversations on Halifax Transit with him over the last few years since.
He always talked about the kids at school where he worked. And you could see the joy they brought him in his smile and eyes when he talked about them.
His love for his job was very clearly a passion and something he takes great pride in. I will miss seeing him during my commute and seeing his smile which would make you smile back. He was a really kind man and I will always think about him when driving by the top of Main Ave where he last lived.
So sorry to the family for his loss.
- Robert & Stephanie.

I went to school with Dennis back in the 90’s/00’s. He was always such a friendly guy, with the kindest heart. We weren’t close; he probably wouldn’t even remember me, (I was a bit younger than him), but, he left a lasting impression on me. I’ll always remember his beautiful smile and contagious laugh. My heartfelt condolences to his friends and family; he really was quite a guy.

I knew Dennis for many years. I smile when I remember the times he could be challenging. But that challenging personality was what made him so brave. Dennis was my hero. His life had many challenges , but he never quit. He loved a good argument but we always ended on a good laugh together. He had such a great sense of humor. Tim Hortons will surely be down on their profits. We will miss you Dennis . My condolences to Teresa , Vernon and family .

Dennis was a very good friend of mine, younger brother of my best friend, we grew up together on Nelson drive in Lower Sackville. I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. I have many fond memories of Dennis, he was funny and boy, was he tough! You couldn’t put one over on him if you tried. When we banned little siblings from our pitiful little snow fort, Vernon built him the Taj Mahal of snow forts, from which we were subsequently banned. And when he got a very cool tricycle, there was no stopping him. You couldn’t beat him in a race to the other end of the neighbourhood, he’d take the corners almost laying over sideways on two wheels. I laugh when I think of him stealing the cheese out of the salad when he thought no one was looking, wearing his distinctive mischievous grin. I can hear him giggling. He never forgot us in the old neighbourhood, stopping out to visit every once in a while. I will miss Dennis very much. Vernon and Theresa, Rick and Paige, and Jocelyn, I am here for you.

Dennis you will be greatly missed. You have now gone to your eternal home and hopefully you were greeted by your mom, all your grandparents, Robert and your Uncle Carl who all went on before and prepared a place for you. It is sad to know there will be no more phone calls and that you left far too soon. We will always have our memories - Love your Aunt Diane and Cousin Laura.

Ralph and I are saddened by the news of Dennis’s passing. We always remember him with a smile. He was so tough yet so filled with appreciation at the sight of a particularly lovely sunset. We remember a time when going out our front door he fell head first into the hedge and got up laughing with some smart-aleck comeback! We always enjoyed his visits to the old neighbourhood, sometimes bringing a friend with him. I know he will be well missed and we can only hope the warm memories of Dennis will sustain both his family and his friends.
