Most of you on TTOL know the beloved "pat" and her daughter "kim", but few knew pat's husband, John. I had the pleasure of meeting pat, John and kim many years ago on SXM and also meeting them at their home in CT. They are all QUALITY people and loved SXM.

It is with much sadness I want to inform you that John Denley has passed on. He was a very unique person, and I was honored to have met him, pat and kim. They also have another daughter, Karen.

Below is a link to the obituary for John Denley. May he RIP.

Condolences to the family.

Condolences to you Pat, Kim and family. You'll have good memories of your time shared with him in SXM, one of his favorite places.

Condolences to Pat and her family. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you.

He was a very special person, with an amazing sense of humor and a true joy for life. Our times on the island didn't always mesh, but when they did, we enjoyed his and Pat's company. He will be missed.

So very sad to hear. We never had the pleasure to meet but enjoyed our many conversations with Pat and Kim here on this board. Condolences to the family.

I am so very sorry to hear this. Deepest condolences to Pat, Kim and the whole family.

Deepest sympathy to Pat, Kim and family.

Sending my condolences to Pat, Kim, Karen and the entire Denley family on John's recent passing. He was a kind and special person with an amazing sense of humour. He will be greatly missed by all his family and friends. Love and prayers in the difficult days ahead.

Some years ago "Wingman" was having one of his famous summer parties at his house in East Haven CT. He informed the "BSVN" gang that we were going to have two new guests to the BBQ!! In comes Pat and John. We became such good friends after that and enjoyed each others time at BSV!!! John was a very special person!!! We will miss him!! God bless !! My condolences to you Pat and your family!! David

I communicated with pat briefly yesterday. She thanks everyone for the thoughts and prayers and will make that known but she is just not up to posting just yet.

Thank you.

So very sorry to hear this sad news. May his soul fly high and Pat, may you find healing in your many memories.

For anyone interested, there was a live stream of the service. Below is a link. It is just under 1 hour and was a very nice service for John.

rural carrier thanks for posting this. We attended the service Monday. It was heartwarming.

My most sincere condolences to Pat and their daughters. Sounds like many people had some great memories of John. May his memory be eternal.

Glad you made the service. I contemplated going but with an elderly dog at home and a 10.5 hour drive each way, it just did not work out. It was a very nice service and tribute to John.

Thank you for posting that link. It was a truly lovely service.

What a beautiful and perfect service. I'm crying tears of sorrow for Pat and family.🙏

Linda and Shelby, I watched the live stream. Very moving and very emotional.

We made the viewing but missed the service due to a doctor appointment. Thanks for sharing

Oh how very sad I like so many other others always enjoyed all of Pats wonderful posts and Kim‘s as well. Having lost my own husband last year. I fully understand how painful this must be. Grief is a long process with lots of twists and turns my heart goes out to Pat and Kim. There really are no words just feelings and I know they must know how many people care about them. I hope time is kind to them.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. It’s going to be an interesting journey without Dad around to keep me in line!!! 😂. Even at 57 he would still check in on me when I was in SXM “just to hear my voice” and to make sure I wasn’t “out late”. Now If he only realized I was usually in my pjs by 9 most nights ❤️❤️. My sister Karen and I both are here to help mom
Get through this transition that will never feel “right”💔❤️💔❤️💔❤️

Thanks for checking in.

God speed Kim. It was nice to finally meet you and you sister even though it was under sad circumstances. Hope to see you in SXM after some time.

Kim--take care. Thanks for posting. Our best to your whole family.

I’ve been trying for days to post my most sincere thanks to all of you for your expressions of love for my husband and this is the best I can do.

He was quite a guy…… a great father; a good and dear friend to all who were privileged to have known him; and a truly good man. And most of all, a wonderful husband. I lost my best friend but heaven has surely gained another angel.

Suffer no more, my love, but Rest in Peace until the twelfth of never and that’s a long, long time!

🙏🙏🙏😢Pat and our sincere deepest condolences on John’s passing but we did had the wonderful opportunity for the last dinner at El Zafiro 🙏🙏❤️

Best wishes, Pat. Yes, at least he is no longer in pain.

Dear Pat, please accept my sincere sympathy on the loss of your husband!I hope that you and your family will be able to find some peace in the difficult and very sad days. ~~~Debby
