Denis William Sams (14 Nov 1945 - 1 Oct 2023)

In memory of Dear Den, a lifelong friend . With our love.Jill and Rob

In loving memory of Uncle Den.

Yes Den was a very kind man who cut my hair for over 40 years

In loving memory of my dear cousin Den. xx

Words cannot describe the pain we feel at losing Den, taken so quickly from us. It is only after we have lost someone so dear that we realise it is the simple things we miss, his voice, his smile and most of all Den’s presence (not forgetting the jokes either!).

It will take time to take in he is no longer with us; our childhood memories will remain forever special and we must take comfort from these and the fun times we all had together.

Our hearts go out to Irene and Kathy but know, as a family, we will always be there for each other. God bless you Den xxxx

So very sorry that I can’t be with you on Monday,but rest assured I will be with you in spirit.
Den was one of life’s gentlemen,always happy,always a joke,good or bad.
He will be much missed by all of us cousins.

We have known Den since our daughters went to play school together. We had many enjoyable meals out with Irene and Den.

Den also cut John’s hair for many years until Covid. John hasn’t had a decent hair cut since then! Not only was he a great bloke, a brilliant barber but also a talented pianist. His jokes were second to none and in all the years we have known him, we never saw him unhappy.

We will miss you Den. God bless.

A Great friend sorely missed.

I have known Denis since school days, always joking and fun to be with. Cut my hair for years and played snooker together right up until recently. Chris and I will miss him so much as a great friend.

Dear Irene I am incredibly sorry for your loss of Denis , Leigh and I knew him back in the 90s when he was cutting hair , always so lovely to chat to , joke, and would always brighten your day , I’m deeply shocked , god bless you Den xxxxx

Ron, Christine, Andrew and Grace Henner.
We all have very fond memories of the many family gatherings we had when the children were young. Den was very much an integral part of those occasions. He always brought a laugh and a joke with him. The picture of him you see here says it all. Den has been a wonderful husband to Irene and father to Kathy. Words may fail us when we try to express our feelings for him but words never failed Den. He was such fun to be with and to talk to.

To my dad,
I miss you so much. I miss our little unit of 3 and the fun times & laughter you, me & mum always had no matter what we were doing! You were always so happy in life everyday & not one day went by without a joke (bad & good!).
You're in my thoughts all the time & I know that you are still with me in spirit. A massive hole has been left in our lives without you. Me & mum will cherish all the moments we had together forever & will never let them fade.
Love you and miss you
Kath

Please accept my donation to this charity who looked after Den and the family so well in such awfully difficult circumstances. Lost far too early!!

Den was always such a fun person and making you laugh even if you weren't in the mood a great joker. Shall remember him fondly with love and gratitude, that he was such a good husband to my friend Irene, and loving father to his daughter Kathy. Always in my thoughts, lost far too soon. xxxxx
