He leaves behind his beloved wife, Janice Qualls Denny. He is the loving father of the late Robert (Rebecca) Denny II and Kimberly (Jack) Geisler. He was the proud grandfather of Joshua (Meredith Newman) Denny, Samuel (Skye) Denny, Jamie (Jason) Frazer, Katie (Patrick) Wright, Amy (Cody) Miller, and Molly (Jim Ebbeler) Geisler.

He is mourned by his family and remembered fondly as a loving brother to his late siblings, James (Rachelle) Denny, Wanetah Foust, Louise Zinn, and June Franklin.

Robert was a man of deep Christian faith, who valued family above all else. He enjoyed fostering connections and creating friendships wherever he went. A devoted fan of the University of Kentucky basketball team, he took pride in his alma maters, having obtained his Bachelor's degree from Eastern Kentucky University, his Master's degree from Xavier University, and his specialist degree in administration from the University of Cincinnati.

Professionally, Robert dedicated himself to education, serving as a teacher at Bethel and Mariemont Schools and Principal at Mariemont and Batavia Schools. His passion for teaching was evident in the lives he touched and inspired throughout his career.
