SHEPHERD, Denis Arthur Denis, who passed away in June 2014, was the youngest of four sons born to Edith and Arthur Shepherd. All of the boys joined the Military, like their father before them, and all had an admirable sense of honour and family loyalty. Denis was predeceased by his parents, Arthur and Edith (South), his step-father, Art Relf, his dear brothers, Thomas and Alex, his beloved wife, Dorene and his sister-in-law, Mary (Bell). In addition to some of those mentioned in an earlier obituary, Denis is survived by his brother, Stan; his sister-in-law, Elsie Shepherd (Thomas' widow); his nephew Tom (Joan) and great nieces Debra (Paul) and Cheryl (Garry) and their son, Peyton; his dear niece, Carol (Jack) and great nieces Jill (Dwayne) and their sons, Ethan and Evan, Allison (Alex) and their son Sawyer Noble Shepherd, Susan (Julian) and their daughters Isla and Violet, and great nephew Rob; his nephew Chris (Glenna); and his niece Maureen (Michael). That some of these close family members were excluded from the previous obituary was a tragic omission and they would wish to show their respect and love for Denis, as he had held such love for all of them. Denis was a most engaging and generous man whose family was always important to him. We, his nephews and nieces were like his children. We will always remember the happy stories and memories we shared, the last time we could speak with him. Rest in peace, our dear Uncle Den. Your loving nieces and nephews, Tom, Carol, Chris, Maureen and their families.
