Denis J. Brady loving known as “Denis Pat” age 82 of Wayne,formerly of Bronx, passed away on Friday, August 6, 2010. His passing was peaceful, although sudden and unexpected, while at home with his loving family.
He was born in Bronx, New York to John and Anna Brady who had immigrated to America from Ireland and Scotland. They settled in Bronx, New York.
He was especially proud of his Irish heritage.
Denis spent his youth in the Bronx and especially enjoyed going to Gleason’s Gym where he not only learned the art of boxing but excelled at it. He won a Golden Glove Boxing Title and is listed in both the New York and New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fames. Among his fans he was called the “Iron Chin”. He was a tough and ready guy if a crisis should ever present itself.
Denis also took great pride in his professional career as a member of Local #1 Elevator Construction Workers Union where along side his beloved brother John they helped construct many of the elevator systems inmany of the New York City's most famous buildings.
He was gifted with an outgoing friendly personality that was likeable. Denis would often be protective of those around him ready to defend them at all costs. Denis was known for his generousity and was always willing to lend a helping hand by sharing his time.
The most important dedication in his life was his family including his children, his granchildren and great grandchildren, and all his brother's and sister's.
He was also a talented self taught artist and could make sketches of people and items with wonderful detail in design. Denis also enjoyed cooking, card playing and checkers, the horses, playing pool and bowling.
He would jog from the Bronx to Englewood to visit his daughter and grandchildren. Denis took pride in being in good shape.
