He married the love of his life, Patricia (Patty) Gray in 1975, and migrated to Melbourne in 1976. In Australia he held many top management and key personnel roles in tyre company Goodyear, footwear designer J Robins &amp; Sons Pty Ltd, and aged care specialist Dial an Angel, retiring from full time employment in 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #800000;\">Denver and Patty\u2019s family grew in Australia and continues to grow, with two children, Melissa and Daniel and five grandchildren, Declan, Lucas and Jett (Daniel and Tara) and Joceylon and Jovan (Melissa and Darren Junkeer) and another on the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #800000;\">Guests at Denver\u2019s 70<sup>th<\/sup> birthday celebrations were entertained by a number of guest singers backed by popular band for the night, Next Generation. Singers included Derrick Junkeer (also compere) and dancers, daughter Melissa, and friends Reg Bartholomeusz and Esric Jackson, not least of all, the birthday boy himself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #800000;\">Among the other notable items of the night was the sumptuous buffet by Tony and Tania Walles, Collingwood ice carving by Desmond Foulstone, elaborate slide show by brother Travis Keegel (U.K.) and very large screen back-drop designed by Ishan Bahar (Sri Lanka). There was not only one birthday cake, but two large ones, made and decorated in the Collingwood themes by Cake Point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #800000;\">Speakers for the night included brother Gordon Keegel (all the way from Mill Park, LOL), Indrani Keegel (presiding over grace and thanksgiving), son Daniel, daughter Melissa, and close friends Bertie Ekenaike and Joyce Senn. There was even a special Collingwood chair for Denver to sit in and savour the adulations of the speakers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #800000;\">In his speech, Denver thanked guests, helpers and entertainers, visiting family from Queensland, and venue management Jude de Silva and staff.\u00a0 The air was charged with emotion when Denver shared his happily married status and acknowledged his loving and dedicated wife of forty-four years, Patty, and was visibly moved when she presented him with a gift of an airline ticket to Sri Lanka and England to visit his family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #800000;\">From many accounts, a wonderful and fun time was had by all, who I am sure will join me in congratulating Denver and wishing him a happy and healthy septuagenarian decade. Happy 70<sup>th<\/sup> birthday, Denver!.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full
