Dennis passed away unexpectedly on February 22, 2020 at the TBRHSC.
He was born March 30, 1946 in Toronto and has been a resident of Thunder Bay for many years. Dennis is the son of Walter and Jeanne (n. Osborne) Eeles; both of whom predeceased him. He worked for many years in the optical lab at KW Optical and most recently part time at Jenkens Funeral Home. He was passionate about his car, home and yard and cared for them meticulously. His furry friends (cat, dogs and earlier horse) were special and he talked about them often. He was a loyal friend and a tireless volunteer at AIDS Thunder Bay (now Elevate NWO) where he served as chair of the board for many years. He fondly remembered the line dance group he belonged to.
Dennis is survived by his spouse Carl Triskle, son Michael (Danielle), daughter Sarah (Joe) Di Tomaso, grandchildren Alexa and Joshua Di Tomaso, Austin Eeles, brother Ken (Lynda), sister Susan, nephews Paul (Corinna) and Wayne (David) Eeles, great nephew Brandon Eeles, his uncle Jack (Yvonne), numerous cousins and good friends.
A visitation for Dennis will be held at the Jenkens Funeral Home on Thursday, February 27 from 7 - 9 p.m. with entombment of his ashes following a come and go reception at his home early in the summer. In lieu of flowers donations to Elevate NWO or a charity of your choice would be appreciated.
Goodbye Daddy
I’m daddy’s little
princess
Forever I will be
Even though he had
to go
He’s looking down
on me
I’ll miss his
silly ways
I’ll miss his
cologne smell
His warm daddy
hugs
Oh the stories I
could tell
He loved me
unconditionally
Through good times
and through bad
He could always
make me laugh
Even when I was
sad
My yellow rose
tattoo
Was always for my
dad
It has a lot of
meaning
His name is what
I’ll add
The pain will
never go away
A hole left there
will be
My memories I will
cherish
Of daddy here with
me
My tears won’t
stop coming
I’m trying to be
strong
But when I look
around
I remember he is
gone
This is the
hardest thing
In life I’ve ever
done
My brother is
beside me
He’s always number
one
Together we can
make it
Through laughter
and through tears
Dad’s in a better
place now
And we are both
still here
You can say that
this is life
That it all comes
to an end
I know it is the
truth
But the heart is
hard to mend
I’m daddy’s little
princess
My brother’s
number one
We miss you so
much daddy
Love your daughter
and your son
