To the Denneny family...we are saddened to hear of Bob's passing. It's easy to recall all the great times we had as kids growing up in Eden Park. Whether playing all the sports throughout the year or just hanging out on summer nights after a pick-up baseball game at Budlong field, our early days in Cranston with "Bobby" were the best. He was always quick with a smile or a joke. Our best to the Denneny family.

Tom and The Denneny Family,
Bob was my first CLCF Baseball Coach. I knew him to be a great Guys Guy. Not many young men would coach kids before they had their own.
Our family's sincere condolences and prayers are with you.
