Denny was born in Cincinnati, OH, the second oldest of 5 children, to Joseph and Catherine Rammacher Woelfel.

Denny then worked for Burlington Industries and before retiring at age 53, he worked for Aris Isotoner. He was a graduate of Cathedral High School and Marian College. Denny enjoyed gardening, playing tennis, bike riding, and family vacations to FL. Many fond memories were made when the family visited the different amusement parks.
