In loving memory of Philip Denis Serle who sadly passed away on 28th March 2026, known by most as Denis. Born one of four siblings, June,Doreen and Ken. Married to Margaret, Father to Elaine, married to Ruby then Partner to Rosy. He lived an amazing 96 years and kept well up until a very short illness. Dad lived such a rich and full life. He was a true gentleman and loved by all who met him. His smile lit up his face and he always looked dapper right to the end. He was incredibly clever with his hands and enjoyed time in his workshop, making and mending things. He also loved to swim and to dance into his 90s with his beloved Rosy. He came to live with Nelson and I the last three years, these were precious times and brought much joy and laughter. God bless you dad. We love you and miss you ❤️🙏xxxxx
