I ’ m so glad to have had the experience diving with Dennis at the Ningaloo Reef . Catching 2 huge painted Crays added to the enjoyment of his company and a special day , Wow , wonderful , thanks Dennis .

Dennis knew his trees and plants ; he was always willing to share his vast knowledge of different species . He was only too happy to share his garden . He generously cut me a small tree from his beautiful Fruit Salad Frangipani . He instructed me on where to separate the large cutting and the drying out process . So recently when these two cuttings sprouted fresh new leaves to celebrate spring and the coming of summer , I thought about that day . I now look forward to the lovely fragrant flowers that remind me of Dennis each year .
