Denis worked for several companies in Winnipeg as an appliance technician.

​

In 1980 Denis moved his family to Swan River to work for Westside Appliances and he finally purchased the company in May of 1993. Due to his physical health he was forced to retired in 2005.  Denis and Kathy decided to move back to Winnipeg in 2007 to be close to their family and friends.

​

Denis enjoyed watching sports, especially hockey and football, he loved music and listening to all his old tunes, and he really enjoyed playing on his x-Box to pass the time. Denis had many lifelong friends that were special to him, especially his buddy Brian, he visited Brian often to talk sports, politics and reminisce about “the good old days”.
