John Telmore Dennis, 60, of Rocky Point passed peacefully from his earthy life on Monday, May 11, 2015 at his home.

He was born November 28, 1954 in Pender County, the son of the late Robert Telmore and Annie Jewell Wells Dennis. John is also preceded in death by his brothers, Lester and Tommy Dennis.
