Dennis Michael Landry

Dennis "Denny" Michael Landry, Jr. was born into this world on December 18, 1940 and left to join his heavenly Father on October 25, 2008. He lived in Biloxi almost all of his life. He graduated from Notre Dame High School in 1958, attended Perkinston Jr. College from 1958 to 1960 and then proceeded to Ole Miss where he earned his degree in Pharmacology. He was a registered pharmacist for over 45 years, ending his career at the VA Hospital in Biloxi. Denny was a man who loved music. He was a member of the Rockin' Rebels, a popular band from the 1950's. He played at several reunion dances many years later, which he enjoyed very much. Denny also enjoyed traveling and learning about new places. He visited the Caribbean and Europe several times, and he liked to tour architectural ruins to learn about how other civilizations lived. Denny was a caring and loving man and a man of faith. He attended Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church, where he was an active parish member for 40 years and of the Our Lady of Fatima Choir for the past several years. Other than his family, this gave him his greatest joy. He is preceded in death by his father, Dennis Michael Landry, Sr.; his mother Olive Kennedy Landry; and his brother, Joseph Lloyd Landry. He leaves to cherish his memory his loving wife of 45 years, Sandra Landry of Biloxi; his children, Mike Landry (Debbie Pizzati) of Picayune, Ronald Landry of Long Beach, John Landry of D'Iberville, Drew Landry (Jennifer Miley) of Biloxi, and Marie Gramm (Joe) of Biloxi.
