Life Story for Denis McQuestion
MCQUESTION, Denis (Joe) – passed away peacefully at St. Catharines General Hospital surrounded by family on August 18, 2008. Pre-deceased by his parents, Tess and Harold, long-time residents of the Timmins area. Denis will be lovingly remembered by his wife Chris, his children Glen (Kyoko) and Jennifer (Dan), his sister Daun (Bryan), his brother Harvey (Claudette) and the many friends and colleagues who were lucky enough to know him during his too short journey on this earth.
Denis was an amazing man with a phenomenal capacity for believing in and nurturing the best in the people around him. His commitment to his family, to his friends, to his work, and to his community, as well his passion for horticulture (and wine!) were the hallmarks of a life that was truly lived to the fullest.
A memorial service will be held at 11:00 on Saturday, September 6 at Grace United Church, Niagara-on-the-Lake for all who wish to celebrate the life of this wonderful husband, father, brother, friend and mentor.
Memorial donations to the Alumni Association of the Niagara Parks Commission School of Horticulture Foundation (P.O. Box 263, Niagara Falls, L2E 6T3) would be appreciated as a way to honour the memory of a man who made this world a greener, kinder place to live.
