Ren was a hardworking, successful businessman and entrepreneur owning several businesses in Easton, PA and Annapolis, MD before becoming an insurance manager moving to Savannah, GA, Houston and Dallas, TX.

My grandfather was truly an amazing man. He filled my life and the life of my family with such beauty, loving us without limit. I cannot express how lucky I feel to have shared my entire life with him, and the loss I feel at not hearing his voice tell me he loves me, or getting a hug from him when I need one. As sad as I am to have lost him, for now I am content in knowing we will see him again.
Steve and I are deeply saddened by the passing of Ren. We had many good times in our young years and our young married lives. We well always think of him and his smiling face and jokes. Hope to see him later …………. Connie and Steve Powell
Ren and Harriet were my son’s God parents. We were very close friends, my son I named regave him rens’ middle name.
My grandfather worked admirable hard in order to care for his loved ones. He loved his family with all of his heart, and his devotion to his wife (my grandmother) is quite possibly the most romantic love story I’ve ever witnessed. I am lucky to have known him, and to catch glimpses of him in his oldest daughter (my wonderful mother). May be rest in peace.
