Dear cousins, we hardly imagine the pain of losing his one and only father. As far as I can remember as a little kid, all the memories I have of Denis are that he has always been a loving, happy and warm uncle. With all our love, Eric, Marilou, Éliane et Gabrielle

My condolences to the family. I'd run into Denis every now and then at the office. I'd ask him how recruiting was going, but all he wanted to talk about was how Chris was doing on the ice. He told me repeatedly how happy he was to see Chris playing in the RA league. On the ice, Denis was like a kid, with a smile on his face as he parked himself in front of our net. A great guy!

J’ai eu le plaisir de frequenter Denis durant mon séjour a la Division “A”. Un travailleur ardus qui essayait toujours de balancer les besoins opérationnels a ceux de l’administration. Mais c’est en jouant au hockey avec Denis je le l’ai connus plus amplement. Coriace joueur de hockey, sans doute le plus vieux de la ligne mais jouais toujours pour gagner et comme ici il avait vingt ans. Apres les partis, c’était le temps de manger nos fameuse chicken wings…. R.I.P. Denis, mes sincères condoléances à toutes la famille Auger.

I'm so sorry to learn that Denis has passed away. I often think of the days in Queenswood Heights with the family. Denis was an amazing man. Please accept my sincere condolences to his entire family.
J’ai eu l’opportunité de travaillé avec Denis pendant plus de trente années au sein de la GRC, mais mes meilleurs souvenirs de Denis l’ont été à jouer au hockey avec lui. Je me souviendrai toujours de ses discours de motivation avant chaque match des Flyers et de ses analyses de nos victoires et défaites une foi rendu au bar de centre RA. Denis étais un bon capitaine et un grand sportif. Mes plus sincères condoléances à toutes la famille Auger.
