QUEENSBURY – Dennis K. Daly, 60, of Queensbury, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, October 29, 2022.

Born on April 19, 1962, he was the son of Leonard and Corleen “Corky” (Nicholson) Daly.

Dennis was a 1981 graduate of Glens Falls High School.  Following his graduation, he enlisted in the United States Army where he proudly served 27 years during Operation Desert Storm and in Operation Iraqi Freedom. During his distinguished military career, he served in many roles, including as a Drill Sergeant where he achieved the rank of First Sergeant and earned several commendations and awards including the Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal.

Following his retirement from the Army in 2007, he worked at the Glens Falls Cement Company (Lehigh Hanson Cement Group) and Warren County DPW as an assistant foreman.

In 2007 he met the love of his life Lisa Olsen, together they created a loving blended family of 5 children. They married on May 23, 2015, in South Glens Falls.

Dennis enjoyed traveling with his wife. He took great pride in making his yard the best in the neighborhood. His favorite pastimes included watching football with his boys and his dad, making donations to the casino, sunbathing in his back yard and spending time with his grandchildren. He could always be counted on to lend a hand if family, friends or a neighbor was in need.
