Frank Renzi Obituary

Renzi, Frank Anthony
Seattle, WA: July 23, 2008, at the age of 55. Devoted father, husband, brother, son, uncle and friend, Mr. Renzi passed away peacefully at home after battling cancer for more than two years. Born and raised in Rochester, NY. Formerly of West Chester, PA, Mr. Renzi moved to Seattle, WA three years ago. He was preceded in death by his mother and father, Betty and Francis Renzi of Rochester, NY. Mr. Renzi is survived by his wife of 28 years, Patricia Louise Renzi, and his two sons, who were the light of his life, Steven Richard Renzi, 27, of Philadelphia, PA, and Andrew Francis Renzi, 23, of New York, NY. He is also survived by his brother, Mark (Harriet) Renzi and their children Matthew and Rachel, of Pittsford, NY; and by his mother-in-law, Grace Foulk of West Chester, PA. Mr. Renzi, a graduate of Spencerport High School and the University of Rochester, was a microbiologist by trade, but his life's work and his passion was being a father. He will always be remembered as a gentle and caring man. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Mr. Renzi's name to the Northwest Kidney Center Foundation, P.O.

Frank was a very close friend of mine from grade school, Holy Apostles. We were like best friends, especially in sixth through eighth grades. We lost touch after about age 14. I often though about him and what he did through life. My sister saw this obituary, gratefully, and sent it to me. I left NYS in 1981 to live in LA for over 20 years, and now I am in AZ. I am a professional musician, a pianist. Frank used to tell me he thought I was very talented. He was a good friend to me. It makes me feel a sadness to know he is gone, and that I never found him again. God bless his family.
My deep sympathy is with you.
