Obituary for Dennis H "Denny" Barbin
LEE: Dennis Harold Barbin, a.k.a. “Denny”, age 74, passed away peacefully at home with his beloved Helen after a long courageous battle with dementia.
Denny was born on November 11, 1946 in Plymouth, NH; the son of René A. and Rachel M. (Matavah) Barbin.
Denny graduated from Exeter High School in 1964. He served his country for three years in the United States Army stationed in South Korea. He also enlisted in the Army National Guard for a few years.
Denny was a commercial truck driver for Precision Paving LLC from 1986 through 2016 retiring at age 69. He especially loved “his” sports. He hardly ever missed a Patriots game, Red Sox and Celtics. He looked forward to taking Helen to Sunny Brook Cottages in the fall. He also enjoyed planting his tomato plants as well as caring for his house plants. Denny loved to collect rocks to landscape his whole yard plus made gifts out of the rocks. Lastly, he loved his beloved cat “Bear” the toughest cat in the neighborhood!
Denny is survived by Helen E. Jones of 25 years; son, Daniel J. Barbin and his wife Jean, daughters, Melissa “Missy” Garland and her husband, T.J. and Jodi M. Barbin; Grandchildren, Ryan, Jasmyne, Jadelyn, Blake and Brennan as well as four great grandchildren.
