Tenick DENNISON Obituary

We shared many a fishing trip to the sounds, great company

Maddie and I send our heart-felt condolences to you all on your father´s death. Tenick was a major figure in the Masterton community, was well known in birdwatching circles, and in later years began a notable career as an author of reminiscence, anecdote and family history. I have all of his books on the shelf beside me. Maddie says she found an immediate engagement with Dennison tribe by reading them.
Tenick was always great company, a real conversationalist, and of course was the designer and builder of the famous coffin. We will miss him, the last of his generation.
Love and best wishes
Paul and Maddie Dennison

I know you could not live forever but it was still a shock when I learnt of your death. You were a great doctor to my parents & brother. You became a friend and even a pall bearer at my father's funeral. I was thrilled when you chose to live in the Wairarapa Masonic Village while I was Manager there. You gave much to the village community. Of course you will be missed by your family and close friends. I wish them strength to carry on with the love you all had for each other.

To the family, a caring family Dr who is remembered with fondness.

I had wonderful times shared with Tenick at Henley Lake. Morning teas arriving with Janet Dennison, with her basket and muffins, and shared under the trees. Your work is a legacy for Masterton Tenick. You will be missed.

My sincere condolences to the family. Tenick was a special man and a very good friend. I was an original member of the Probus writing group and spent many happy hours listening to his brilliant stories. We shared several years as neighbours in the Masonic Village before I moved to Hawkes Bay and quite often had a "four o'clock cheers". I last phoned Tenick on his birthday and he told me he had just written a third letter to Donald Trump and would send me a copy. Sadly it didn't arrive but I am sure it was just as humourous and relevant as the previous two.
Tenick was a real gentleman and will be very much missed. Mary Ashford.

Thank you for your care of four generations of McLachlans. You will be very much missed.

Thank you Tennick for your wonderful stories. You stand as a true gentleman in my mind.
