Australian Canoeing was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of 1972 and 1976 Olympian and Australian Champion, Dennis Heussner
Dennis won 14 Australian canoeing titles, 15 NSW titles and represented Australia in canoeing at the Olympic Games in Munich in 1972 and Montreal in 1976.

In 2009 Dennis was awarded an OAM for services to Surf Life Saving and Canoeing

Our thoughts are with his Family and Friends.
