Denis STRATTON Obituary

our deepest sympathy to all the family. Denis will be remembered by Bosa Carol and family. kia kaha whanau.

I know I speak for all his friends and former colleagues in Mars companies around the world who were shocked and saddened by Denis's sudden and tragic end. He was a fine man , a great workmate and a wonderful exemplar of the Kiwi spirit. We are all richer for having known him. He will be missed by so many.

Our hearts go out to the Stratton family at this time - still remember the good times in Lord Street Stokes Valley - Heather and Rusty Klein (former 80 Lord Street)

Remembering family times, Rangiputa and Rangitane - Cheers Den

To Jodie, Rob, Jackie and families, you were so strong today, Denis would have been proud of you all. He would have loved his send off today.
I will always remember him turning up to the boat wearing mismatched shoes, and my nan naming him 'Denis two shoes'. The name stuck.
Be strong and look after eachother x

Our deepest sympathy to Denis's family from the Rangitane Residents Association and community.

Farewell Den, but "Beyond the world as we know it ... there is a place where we will all meet again where we never have to say 'goodbye'".

My sincere condolences to all Denis' family and many friends at this very sad time. Such a lovely man to have worked with, he is remembered very fondly. God bless.

What started out as the Master / Serf business relationship 23 years ago turned into one of the great and most rewarding friendships of my life.

Over the years, the adventures, the laughter, the sadness and the fun that was shared will never be forgotten.

Dirty Den you will be sorley missed and I will miss you and our great mateship deeply.I will never forget our times together.

My heart goes out to Jodie and mumber one son and the rest of the family at this time

Warmest thoughts to the family , we will miss that fun and laughter that Denis always brought with him. A ray of sunshine.

A lovely man, a great friend, fantastic reliable work colleague, a true buddy with a passion for life we all respected. He will be sorely missed all around the world from the many people privilidged enough to have shared some of his life with him

We really can't believe this has happened. Our hearts go out to you all.
