Denis Curran was a good friend of mine. He called me pretty often and we shared memories of Loyola University and Jesuits and teachers that he and I knew at Loyola. We will miss him a lot! May he rest in peace with the Lord forever. What a great guy!

So sad to read this obituary. I knew Denis from the 1960's at Loyola. He always cheered me up with his jokes and stories. I just got back to campus and called last phone number I had for him. Only to get busy signal. May he rest in peace.
