After watching the service online, if you can leave a guest message to let the family know you have joined into the service, that would be greatly appreciated.
Denis, it has now been several months since your passing. We think of you fondly every day mate. You have created a gap in all our lives, a gap that can only be filled by such a special person as you. One day in the next life we will be all re-united, until then mate “work on some new jokes” please.
A really decent human being and nice guy who was clearly held in high regard by many. Loved the tribute music, especially the Israel Kamakawiwo’ole version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, which seems to be a great song for a bloke with a heart of gold.
Dear Wilma, Marae, Paul , Michael and families,
A beautiful service for a beautiful man.
Our hearts go out to you all at this sad and difficult time. You are all such a close and loving family, I know that you will find confort and strength in each other.
I will always fondly remember the first time I was introduced to Denis by George when we were going out together, Denis and Frank came to Griffith for a visit and we met up at the leagues club. After the introductions, Denis took me out for for whirl out on the dance floor, and shared memories of when all the cousins used to get together in Melbourne and get into mischief, when they were young. No doubt that Denis and George are up there sharing stories and having a good laugh, and they did have a warped sense of humour. May Denis RIP, love to you all.

Uncle Denis was a machine. i used to take over his shift at the petrol station on a Saturday afternoon around 5pm and close around 11pm, it was very cruisy i used to listen to the football on the radio and do my uni work. but he had been at the station since about 5am going flat chat. a couple of times i took his shift and it was non stop from go to whoa stocking shelves, fixing the vacuum, loading up bbq gas and selling car washes etc etc. i was exhausted every time and i was 19 years old! he would ask me how many car washes i sold and i used to say oh quite a few maybe 50, he would laugh at me as he could get well over 100 easily. i learnt a lot from his work ethic and customer relationships. Uncle Denis im sorry if i closed the shop at 10.30pm some nights and took the odd ice cream as i wanted to go home but im sure you knew anyway. You were a great guy and i will forever have many memories. RIP and i look forward to seeing you again and having another laugh with you. my love to wilma, marae, paul and michael. love chris x

I have known Denis since the late 1990 as a refrigeration technician who serviced fridges at Kid’s Space, Denis would always greet you with a smile he would offer lunch and a coffee, he was the glass half full type of guy, just a few weeks ago we had a pleasant conversation over a faulty fridge and Denis never mentioned that he wasn’t well, I just received a message from Wilma regarding his passing which was a shock to me, he will sadly be missed.
I offer my deepest condolences to Wilma and the family, may Denis rest in peace❤
Denis, my dearest uncle. Life felt so lively in your presence. Your joyous attitude and everyday selfless acts made you such a huge role model in my life. You’re the one who was able to put my head in and realise the capabilities of myself. Your life advice is something I will never forget, and I’m going to miss it so much. I love you Den, just like everyone else who knew you did, we all love you.
Sending lots of love and hugs to you all in this difficult time. Denis was such an optimistic and happy man and that is how we will always remember him. He will be greatly missed.
Denis, we have been thinking a lot of you especially during these last months whilst being unwell, what a wonderful provider you have been to your family and friends over the years. You have been a great example as a family man and husband.
We think fondly of those All Hallows years as parents and the community which it was, you featured very heavily as an on going giver to that community and which we remember you most fondly.
We know you will.be highly regarded in Gods community.
A good person, husband and father. We are so deeply sorry for him to leave us.
Our sincere condolences to the family, brothers and friends.
Carmel and Danny Pascolo.
Denis my heart is so broken to hear this news
you were my kids space manager and it was a pleasure to work with you many years ago
May you rest in peace xx

Denis we thought of you in love today, but that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday and days before that, too.
We think of you in silence and we often speak your name.

God has you in his keeping and we have you in our hearts.

Denis, we were devastated to learn of your passing. I will never forget how your huge laugh would fill the room, and your Godfather jokes whenever I introduced you to someone new. It was impossible not to be happy when you were around.
To this day I am still able to drive a tractor and hit the cow pats at the perfect speed and angle due to your patient, yet hilarious lessons on the farm all those years ago.
You will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
All our love to Wilma and the Beltrame family.
It is great to remember Denis and hear so much about his life. He was a kind, strong and humble man who will be greatly missed.
Sending lots of love to you all, Denis has had a huge impact in my life and we miss him greatly. Xxx
RIP. A wondeful sense of humour, alas sadly now on the other side.

Your wonderful sense of humour always left everyone smiling and laughing. So many wonderful memories over a lifetime that will always live in our hearts. We will always keep you and your beautiful family in our prayers… Your example as a husband and dad is second to none… so loving… so caring….always thoughtful… we miss you heaps Denis.

Trish and Garry Turner,
Deepest sympathy to Wilma and family. RIP Denis
Our thoughts are with you all on this sad day. RIP Denis, you will be missed.
I have known Denis since the late 1990 as a refrigeration technician who serviced fridges at Kid’s Space, Denis would always greet you with a smile he would offer lunch and a coffee, he was the glass half full type of guy, just a few weeks ago we had a pleasant conversation over a faulty fridge and Denis never mentioned that he wasn’t well, I just received a message from Wilma regarding his passing which was a shock to me, he will sadly be missed.
I offer my deepest condolences to Wilma and the family, may Denis rest in peace❤
Denis, my dearest uncle. Life felt so lively in your presence. Your joyous attitude and everyday selfless acts made you such a huge role model in my life. You’re the one who was able to put my head in and realise the capabilities of myself. Your life advice is something I will never forget, and I’m going to miss it so much. I love you Den, just like everyone else who knew you did, we all love you.
Sending lots of love and hugs to you all in this difficult time. Denis was such an optimistic and happy man and that is how we will always remember him. He will be greatly missed.
Deno! Buzz Lightyear! Denis! What an absolute legend of a boss! Definitely one of a kind human! You will be missed by many but never forgotten!
Denis, we have been thinking a lot of you especially during these last months whilst being unwell, what a wonderful provider you have been to your family and friends over the years. You have been a great example as a family man and husband.
We think fondly of those All Hallows years as parents and the community which it was, you featured very heavily as an on going giver to that community and which we remember you most fondly.
We know you will.be highly regarded in Gods community.
The Bourke family
our prayers and love are with your family, so sorry for your loss.
God have mercy on Denis may your mercy open the gates to heaven for his soul.
A good person, husband and father. We are so deeply sorry for him to leave us.
Our sincere condolences to the family, brothers and friends.
Carmel and Danny Pascolo.

Denis we thought of you in love today, but that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday and days before that, too.
We think of you in silence and we often speak your name.
Denis now all we have are memories and your picture in frame.
Your memory is our keepsake, with which we’ll never part.
God has you in his keeping and we have you in our hearts.
Elio and Nette Meggetto
A wonderful example of what it means to be a true family man.
