Dennis Paton
๐ท๐๐๐๐, ๐ด๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
With great sadness, the family share that their wonderful Dad, Dennis Paton, passed away at Ninewells Hospital, Dundee, on Saturday, 7th March 2026, aged 86 years, with his family by his side.
Beloved husband of Jean, a much loved Dad, Grandad and Great Grandad, a dear brother, uncle and friend to many.
Dennis was a hard worker, having had many different jobs over the years including at Harry Maidens, working as a van boy and later a driver with the ADL, where he also met Jean. He had a short spell at Glaxo, was a driver with Lowfield Distribution, then went on to work as a postman for several years. His real love though was driving and he returned to working on the lorries with Jim Hutcheon and later Grampian International Transport until his retirement.
He had few hobbies but enjoyed refurbishing and collecting old Suffolk lawn mowers. He also loved making models and collecting vintage Corgi vans and lorries, proudly displaying them in his cabinet at home.
Dennis enjoyed holidays abroad, especially the sunshine and warm climates of Cyprus and Malta, but absolutely hated the cold and damp of the Scottish winters.
He was always a passionate swimmer and had a great โgangโ of friends at Montrose Sports Centre swimming pool, where he was well known for his humour and cheeky banter.
A real family man, Dennis will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Funeral private, at Dennisโ request.
