The obituary notice of Dennis Donley (Denny) FURR

Denny was the first friend I made when I moved onto the Marina and I will forever be grateful for his kindness, time and wicked sense of humour.
We would often meet for coffee and cake in the cafe and he loved spending time with Tilly (the dog). She loved her uncle Denny ❤️. He had some wonderful stories about his life and was always tinkering with something in his 'shed'. He spoke so highly of Emma and her partner and would always have a smile on his face when he told you he was off to see 'his girls'.
Denny, you will be so missed 💔Thank you for all the advice, both for life and the boat and keeping me smiling when things got tough. I will miss our catch ups my friend. Sleep well 🩷

We were sorry to hear about Denny’s death. He was a wonderful man and as Emma’s parents across the pond we knew she was in good hands. We enjoyed our trips to the U.K. and we had occasions to visit with Bev and Denny to catch up. He will be missed.

Denny and I were married for 18 years and together we raised Emma our daughter. In the end we.parted but remained friends.
Denny was the kind of Man you would always remember.
In summer he would wear the most brightly coloured patterned shirts and always wore his sandles.
He liked 70s rock bands Dire Straits, Reo Speedwagon and Fleetwood Mac to name but a few.
Denny had a sweet tooth he liked peanut brittle and baklava and when I baked cakes he would eat the batter saying that this was his way of washing up.
I hold memories of Denny saying, "Are you ready?" Then moments later "Are you ready to go now?" when we were going out.
If ever there was something eventful that happened he would say "You will have something to talk about in therapy"
When I first knew Denny he smoked a pipe he later changed to a vape which he puffed away on while I chattered to him
He loved his truck and kayak he called them his toys.The biggest thing he got is boat and called her Narrowboat Aldantè which means move slowly. It was what he always wanted.
