  Kandy and family our deepest sympathy of the loss of a husband, father and grandfather. He always spoke highly of his family and the achievements of his sons.I worked with Ren for many years at Safeway and shared many laughs.
  
  Ren was a good guy to have in your corner. It saddens me not to connect more often with Ren after my retirement. Prayers for you all during this difficult time.

  We were so sorry to hear of Ren's passing. He lived a full life, and had such pride in the family that he and Kandy created. I still remember how delighted he was at Tony and Elvie's wedding and how his face lit up when talking about his grandchildren. I hope that the memories you have shared with him are as full as the life he led.

We are thinking of you all as we reminisce about all the wonderful memories we have of Ren; pool parties, hopping in the red buggy, sipping wine, visiting for Christmas appies, care packages with red licorice, thanksgiving dinner at the projects, and his warm, welcoming hugs. Ren was a softy and had lots of love to share. Sending our biggest hugs and sincerest condolences.

  Kandy & family, Zeno, Sandy & family: I was so very sorry to hear of Ren's passing and extend to you all my deepest sympathy. Ren, just had the ability to make one smile. What a gift he had, Loved it when he visited Mike Shepherd as he always had a joke or two. Or a story about your latest holiday. You are in my thoughts. Love, Patti (Jennens)
