I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dennis.
We served together for many years with the Manchester City, Manchester and Salford and subsequently the Greater Manchester Police
He was a fine man and a brave Police Officer.
I lost track of him when I left Manchester to work in Gloucestershire.
I have lovely memories of him, especially as we were teamed up as Patrol Officers in the Mill Street Division.
My condolences to the family.
John Holmes of Prestatyn, formerly PC ‘C’ 61.

I served alongside Dennis on the ‘C’ Division, Manchester City Police, in the late 1960’s, working as a Police Van Crew out of Mill Street Police Station.
I was greatly saddened to hear of his passing, especially as I retired to Prestatyn two years ago, and never knew this fine Police Officer lived close by.
Dennis was my mentor, a tremendously dedicated Police Officer and family man, and may he rest in peace.
