The Laughing Wolf

Sir Denis Thatcher

Sir Denis Thatcher, the husband of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, has passed away. An astute businessman, gentleman, and loyal husband whom Lady Thatcher credited with making it possible for her to do all she did.

I became interested in the man courtesy of a spoof in a James Bond film, in which someone portraying him made a brief appearance. Sir Denis played into such things with a great sense of humor, such as a long-running spoof of his correspondence with a friend who was also editor of the Daily Telegraph.

This is a devastating loss to Lady Thatcher, who’s own health has not been up to snuff of late. My thoughts go out to her and to their family.
