The Bakersfield Californian 
Dennis Keith St. Amour
Nov. 25, 1957 Dec. 20, 2004

Services will be held in Greenlawn Memorial Chapel, 3700 River Blvd., today, 
Tuesday, December 28, 2004, at 11:00 a.m. for Dennis Keith St. Amour, 47, who 
passed away December 20, 2004. Chaplain Gary Bashor will officiate. 

Dennis was born in Michigan. At the age of 5 he moved with his family to 
Torrance, where he lived for the greatest part of his life. For the past 15 
years, shortly after he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, he has lived in 
Bakersfield. His passing was brought on by complications from MS.

After graduating from Torrance High School and attending El Camino College, he 
worked in the customer service department of Felker Co. in Torrance. But his 
greatest joy was music. At Torrance High, he was active in the band and choral 
groups. At El Camino, he was a member of the jazz band. And his love of music 
continued well beyond his school years playing in the Moravian Trombone Choir 
of Downey. He even marched in several Southern California parades with the 
Lumberjack Band. In his last few years, when MS made it difficult for him to 
get out, Dennis could still work up the strength to get out to a Cal State 
band concert or for a trip to the Fox to see Chicago perform.

Dennis is survived by his parents, Bob and Betty; his brother and sister-in-
law, Jim and Amy; his sister and brother-in-law, Barb and Bill Bartholomew, 
and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and two grand-nieces.

The family would like to deeply thank the many caregivers in Bakersfield who 
helped Dennis cope with MS in his last few years.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made either to MS 
research and support organizations or to Mr. Hollands Opus Foundation 
(www.mhopus.org), which provides instruments to under served school music 
groups.
