To the Editor:
We can never adequately express our thanks to everyone who has given such loving support to all of us, and especially to our late husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Denny Alley, a.k.a. Papa, including our friends, family, Dr. John Lamb, Denny’s wonderful Windemere family where he was so loved and cared for and always felt at home, those who took time to visit with him, the Wesley House club (Peter, James, and Jimmy, who included him in their coffee hour), and so many people who kindly inquired about him throughout his long illness, and Hospice of Martha’s Vineyard volunteers who guided us through his departure.
The wonderful tribute by Oak Bluffs and Island fire and EMS personnel and the Oak Bluffs Police Department will never be forgotten. It was an amazing display of respect and admiration for Denny. We are grateful for the care and respect of Chapman, Cole and Gleason, Father Nagle and the Good Shepherd Parish Choir, and all who sent cards, flowers, Masses, and donations. We so appreciate the staff at Farm Neck Café for allowing us to hold our final celebration of Denny’s life at one of his most favorite places.
With much love and respect to you all,
The family of retired Oak Bluffs Fire Chief Dennis Patrick Alley
