    Dearest Dennis,

    You are a true gentleman, and I was so lucky to have worked along side! So many lovely memories!! From Santa, to teaching me the best way to deliver luggage and most of all you looking after George because it was a busy Monday night so you would chase him round the hotel!! Thank for all the laughs!!

    Sleep well Dennis!!

    Love always!! Xxx

    Lots of love from George & Grace as well xx

    Dennis was such a great man. He was the porter but Go To guy when I started my working life at 15 year old at the hilton. He always made sure everyone working got home on time and a lot of the time, his shift had long finished. I’m 42 now but still vividly remember loads of conversations with him. Always giving great advice about the balance of work and fun.
    A legend who will be missed but loved the life he had.
