Dennis T. Daley

Dennis T. Daley passed away peacefully at his home April 15, 2024, surrounded by his loving family.  He was born September 10, 1934 in Chicago to Timothy and Jennie Daley.

Dennis's interests were as varied as they were passionate. An avid golfer, he could often be found on the greens, enjoying the camaraderie of the game and the beauty of the outdoors. His love for sports cars was more than a hobby; it reflected his zest for life and adventure. His other interests included travel, photography, reading and jazz music. Family gatherings were brightened by his presence, as he cherished every moment spent with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, imparting wisdom, and sharing laughter. Dennis's sense of humor was infectious; he had a knack for finding the funny side of life, and his laughter was a gift that he generously shared with all who knew him.
