Obituary of Dennis Frank Hurt

With deep sorrow the family announces the passing of Dennis, on May 30 at St. Boniface Hospital, he fought a very difficult and hard battle with cancer but gave it his all.

 

Dennis was very active and involved with amateur radio for six decades.  He loved being on the air waves; it was a big part of his life.  He worked for Pepsi Cola Co. and then finally for Ross Electronics.

 

Dennis is survived by his loving wife Shirley; his two daughters Kim (Ron) JoAnn.  He is also survived by his five grandsons: Daniel, David (Kathy), Ryan (Kim), Nicholas (Kelsey), Noah; and six great-grandchildren: Hayley, Nathan, Madelyn Parker, Landon, and Casey; as well as his sister Florence (Neil) of Regina, and numerous nieces and nephews

 

There will be no service as per his request.   A private family dinner will be held at a later date,

 

 

Excerpt from Poem

"Let Me Go"

by Christina Georgina Rossetti

 

When I come to the end of the road

And the sun has set for me

I want no rites in a gloom-filled room

Why cry for a soul set free?

 

Miss me a little, but not for long

And not with your head bowed low

Remember the friendship that once we shared

Miss me, but let me go.

 

For this is a journey we all must take

And each must go alone.

It’s all part of the master plan

A step on the road to home.

 

When you are lonely and sick at heart

Go to the friends we know.

Laugh at all the things we used to do

Miss me, but let me go.
