Obituary of DENNIS RUSSELL BURR

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our Husband, Father, Brother, Uncle, Grandfather and Friend. Dennis passed away suddenly at his residence of 43 years in St. Andrews, Manitoba.

Left to cherish his memory is his wife of nearly 52 years, Diane; sons Joel (Tammy), Ryan and Mark (Arelis); and grandchildren Ashlynn and Grayson. Also left to mourn are his sisters Randy Banera and Marilyn Falk, as well as their children. He also leaves his dog Coco.

Dennis was predeceased by his parents Russell and Eileen, brothers in law Nelson Poets, Jerry Banera and Dave Falk, and nephew Myles Banera. Dennis was born on Valour Road in Winnipeg, MB. Dennis had a fulfilling career in transportation and logistics. He worked at CN Railway after high school, was the Traffic Manager of Manitoba Rolling Mills in Selkirk during the 1970’s and 80’s and then worked in the Traffic Department at Bristol Aerospace in the 90’s. Dennis then began his own trucking company Frontline Freight Systems with his three sons almost 20 years ago.

Dennis truly enjoyed getting up and going to work every morning and running his company until his passing. Dennis was always fair and generous with his employees and he had no interest in retiring. He loved his family, AC/ DC, the Rolling Stones, and his Corvette Z06. Dennis always was willing to help anyone in need and offered thoughtful advice to many.

He leaves many friends from across North America. Dennis had an incredible sense of humor and an infectious laugh. He will be missed.

A service of remembrance will be held at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street, on Thursday June 8, 2023 at 2 pm.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to The Winnipeg Humane Society.
