He en- joyed helping others being a dea- con and elder of the church for over 50 years, was always the first to lend a hand to anyone in need. He loved spending time in the church even if it was to just straighten up, sweep the floors, and clean the bathrooms.
He was a gardener, always outside in the yard taking care of his garden which brought him peace, joy and serenity; nurtur- ing to his kids and will do any- thing and everything for his grandchildren.
Renold will always be re- membered by all as a man of God, a gentle soul, that he always had a smile on his face, of his in- tegrity and kindness.
