ALLEN, Herbert Dennis (Denny) October 28, 1942 February 14, 2008 Denny
passed away peacefully at Vancouver General Hospital with his loving wife by
his side after a courageous battle with cancer. Born in Victoria, B.C. he
was a long time resident of Cowichan Bay. He will be greatly missed by his
wife Frances (Fran) Allen, his father and mother "Pete and Jo" Allen, as
well as his two daughters, Kathrine (Scott) and Cindy and his grandchildren
Anisa and Ivano. He will also be missed by his sister Brenda (Bob) and
nieces Tina and Adele, as well as numerous cousins. Denny took his
apprenticeship as a machinist at the Dockyard in Esquimalt from 1961 to
1965. In 1968 he began working as a millwright at Crofton Pulp and Paper
where he made several life long friendships as saw many changes until he
retired from his position as Maintenance Superintendent in 1996. Denny will
be remembered for the things he loved to do, camping with friends and
family, restoring old cars, and more recently his passion for GMC motor
homes, and the places they took him. But he will mostly be remembered for
his amazing ability to fix or build pretty much anything he wanted, and
helping friends and family in many projects through his lifetime. His sense
of humour and generosity of spirit will never be forgotten. A service will
be held at St. Edwards Church 2085 Maple Bay Road in Duncan on Wednesday,
February 20th at 11 AM. The Rev Father Frank Franz, Celebrant. In lieu of
flowers donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 750 Hillside
