He was 77. Denney, who had homes in Palm Springs and in the penthouse of the Beverly Wilshire Hotel he once partially owned, died Thursday in Palm Springs of pneumonia after a one-year bout with cancer. A lifelong pilot, Denney was the founder and major force behind the American Helicopter Co. and the worldwide conglomerate into which it evolved, Los Angeles-based Automation Industries Inc. That corporation, which primarily manufactures aerospace components and testing equipment to determine structural quality of materials, was sold to General Cable in 1978 for $106 million.".
