Dr. William F. Denny

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Denny, it was a pleasure to kown him. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. My sincere condolences to his family,

Dr. Denny will always be fondly remembered as one of the faculty members who took a personal interest in teaching and mentoring medical students. Classes were small enough that events could be held at the homes of many of the faculty at the VAMC. I also was part of the small group of residents funded by the VAMC

Dr. Denny was a founding member and Chair of The University of Arizona Institutional Review Board. His legacy with regard to the ethical treatment of human subjects in research lives on. The staff of the Human Subjects Protection Program, at The University of Arizona, sends their deepest sympathy to Dr. Denny’s family.

Bill was my first attending on the wards during my internship July,1979. During my years of practice a day has not gone by that something has come up that I was taught by Bill. I remember him as a stellar mentor but more important an exemplary human being.He epitomized what being a physican is actually about.

Dr. Denny served as a mentor to physicians and nurses alike. He was always a gentleman and gentle with the patirents at the VA. His clear expectation was that patients would always be treated with kindness and respect. My condolences to his family

Bill hired me as chief of Rheumatology at the Tucson VA in 1973. He has been a mentor, fiend, colleague, supporter, confidant and leader for all the years since. I could always count on him for sage counsel and for sharing thoughts and feelings. He has been a role model as a physician educator and an excellent administrator.. He was a physician in every good sense of the word. Bill will continue to be an influence oon me the rest of my life and will be remembered with great honor as my friend.
