Henry Renaud Obituary
He leaves behind his high school sweetheart and wife of fifty-five years, Sandra (Delasanta) Renaud. He is also survived by his daughter, Lynn Hawkins and her husband Darrell of Cumberland; his son, Daniel Renaud of Charlestown; his brother, Denis Renaud of Woonsocket; two sisters, Pauline Campopiano of Woonsocket and Janet Leclair of Douglas; and four grand- children Benjamin, Elizabeth, William, and Thomas Hawkins.
An Air Force Veteran, "Hank" worked for the Woonsocket Fire Department for forty-one years, proudly serving as Chief for the last sixteen years of his career. He was a member of the Elks, the Seagrave Observatory, Skyscrapers in Scituate, a life time member of the Cercle Laurier, and as a long time coin collector, the Blackstone Valley Coin and Collectibles Club. He was a former manager of Bernon Little League, an avid golfer and sports fan. He was his grandchildren's number one fan, watching them participate in everything they did - big or small - a steady, reassuring presence radiating his unconditional love and pride.
His funeral will be held Wednesday, February 13, 2019 at 9 AM from the Holt Funeral Home, 510 South Main St., Woonsocket with a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 AM in Precious Blood Church, 94 Carrington Ave., Woonsocket.

I remember many a night under the summertime stars, spying galaxies, planets, and nebulae through Hank's telescope. Those times reinforced in me a lifetime appreciation and love for astronomy that's still going strong. I'm a scientist and researcher now. Hank played no small part in inspiring me towards that end. God bless Hank & family.

My deepest sympathies on your loss. During my duties on the Woonsocket Police Dept. I often ran into Deputy Chief Renaud at fire scenes. A true professional who ALWAYS took the time to stop and say hello to a police officer standing post, directing crowds and traffic. May God bless his soul.
