HENRY ANDREW DEDENUS 1924 - 2016 On April 3, 2016, Henry passed away unexpectedly at the age of 91, with family by his side. He will be lovingly remembered by his daughter Carol (Wayne) Kauk and their children Brian (Brenda), Disa and Stephen (Stacy), and his daughter Mary (Neville) Skanderbeg and their children Angela, Ken (Jamie), Lori (Darwin), Larry (Darilyn) and Brian (Sarah), fourteen great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren with one more expected shortly. Also extended family and numerous friends many of whom lovingly referred to him as Grampa "D" or Uncle Henry. Henry's distinctive "joie de vivre" was enjoyed by all who knew him. Henry was a proud Second World War Navy veteran. He married Margaret Innes, the love of his life, in 1944 and missed her terribly after her death in 2012. Henry worked at several jobs until joining Thomas Rathwell Ltd. and continued there until his retirement. Henry and Margaret moved to Arnes in 1986 and he lived in the area until his passing. He loved to travel. His last trip was to visit family in Denver early this year. A memorial service will be held at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Avenue, on Friday, April 8 at 2:00 p.m. Flowers gratefully declined. Donations in his memory can be made to either Evergreen Basics Needs, Box 89, Gimli, MB, R0C 1B0 or the Betel Home Foundation, Box 10, Gimli, MB, R0C 1B0, both of which were very dear to his heart.
