Merry Christmas to all the Denning family. I just heard of Bob's death from another Matignon classmate, Jimmy Molloy. Bob and I exchanged Christmas cards for some time. We were both Somerville boys and happy to attend Matignon in the early 60's. I saw Bob last at our 50th Matignon reunion a year ago September.
Bob was a good guy. I'll miss him.
My condolences to all the Denning family. I will pray for Bob during this holy season.
