LEWES - Dennis C. Paquette passed away at home surrounded by the love of his family on Tuesday, November 29, 2016.

Dennis was born in Milford on September 3, 1940, son of the late Alfred and Gladys (Moore) Paquette.

He was employed for 30 years as an insurance agent for Home Beneficial.   He continued to work after retirement at separate times as a salesman for I.G. Burton of Milford and in the same position with M.V. Stevens Used Car dealership, also in Milford.

Dennis had a warm and endearing personality which made him a perfect candidate for his career choices.  He was also known for his loving commitment to his family whether it be a simple get together, holiday, time at the family beach house and boating, or planning a special trip, Dennis was always in his favorite element.
