HARRELSON, Dennis J.

Dennis J. Harrelson 69, born December 21, 1940 in Flushing, NY, died unexpectedly June 22, 2010. Dennis was raised in Long Island, NY, enjoying hotdogs at Jones Beach, old Westerns and Mets baseball. Stepping up to honorably serve his country, Dennis joined the U.S. Army in 1962. This was followed by years in the finance world and Chase Bank in Manhattan. Knowing early he was "born to retire", Dennis did, and focused on being a devoted, dutiful son and companion to his beloved mother, Eleanor. After relocating to Tucson with her in 1997, Dennis attended services regularly at St. Frances de Sales church, Tucson life allowed Dennis to indulge his love of golf, shopping at Costco and time with his extended family. Dennis was preceded in death by his mother, Eleanor; and brother, Stan. He is survived by his extended family of niece, nephews, grand and great-grand nieces and nephews as well as friends and neighbors who loved him very much. We will all miss Dennis' laid-back attitude, his fashionable golf hats and ever present "care package" offerings of salami, peppers and provolone. Even more, we will miss the time and love he shared with us. Memorial Service Monday, July 19, 2010, 9:00 a.m. at All Faiths Memorial Park, 2151 S. Avenida Los Reyes in Tucson, 885-9173. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St Jude Children's Hospital.
