Although out of Ireland for sixty years, Denis had a keen interest in the happenings back in the "old country" and, in particular, West Cork. He was an avid reader of The Southern Star and was always dissapointed when he was unable to get his hands on it. He would have been 83 next week. Denis was a true gentleman of the old school.
