Thomas Render

So very sorry for your Loss. My friend and I were just talking about going to Render's for dinner. We couldn't remember at first where our children used to get the cow cups. But, It all came rushing back to us when I remembered.... A busy Sunday afternoon and our children so impatiently had a cow cup fight, Chocolate and White milk every where. Mr. Render came quickly with napkins and said, "someday mom's you'll look back and wish they were still fighting with cow cups!" So very true now...

When Tom had Render's Restaurant I was a greeter and seater for the waitresses! I was only a short time but Tom was always a great personality! I had wondered what happened to him and now sad to find had passed away! Sincerest sympathies to the Render family and friends!

He was a good friend to my family and I if we needed anything he was there. The world was a better place with Tom in it.

Tom and I were Masonic Lodge brothers and had many conversations about life in general. When he became Worshipful Master we did quite a bit of traveling to different Lodges in the area. Am sure going to miss him. To the family I wish you my condolences and thank you for allowing Tom to serve our community.

My first job was as a bus boy/dishwasher at Render's. Tom was always walking the floor asking how the food was, chatting with everyone like he was your best friend, and making sure everything was spotless, qualities that are sadly missing in a lot of today's restaurants. He will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences go out to the family.
