Tributes have been paid to Denny online following his passing, with one person saying: “I was saddened to learn of Denny’s passing. Deepest sympathy to Eleanor and extended family members. Denny was one of life’s gentlemen. He was always welcoming and friendly when ever we met. He will be greatly missed by his family and everyone who knew him. May Denny’s soul Rest In Eternal Peace.”
Another said: “Our sincere and heartfelt condolences to Eleanor and family on the sad passing of Denny. Thinking of you all at this difficult time. May his gentle soul rest in peace.
Denny was a lovely man and a wonderful neighbour who took great pride in keeping the estate clean and tidy. He was forever cutting the grass, clipping the hedges, painting and doing a general tidy up around the place. It didn't matter if it was his lawn or his hedges, he did them anyway. And yet he always had time to stop and chat a while. Wheatfields were lucky to have him and he will be dearly missed by all. Rest easy Denny.”
