He was a good man. My dad was instrumental in Rev Wrenn becoming our minister in Brecksville, Ohio. When he started serving there he and his family lived in our home until they got settled. I was a young teenager. He was an outstanding minister. I dreamt about seeing him last night and I haven’t seen him since the 1960’s. I was sad to google his name and find he has died. RIP. Condolences to his family.

We knew Bill for more than 40 years. He shared an office in our building so we got to see each other almost daily. Bill took part in the marriage of our daughter, Becky, and assisted our son, Mark, in his various career searches. We were privileged to be included in Barbara's ordination. We got together frequently for dinners and concerts. Bill was a very good friend.We will miss him and his wonderful humor. Our sympathies to his family for your loss.
