Mr Renaud taught me at St Theresa in 1987. He was, hands down, my favourite teacher. He was so full of energy- he taught us gymnastics and directed our choir for many years. He treated us like young adults instead of kids. He is the reason I became a teacher- he was an inspiration. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Gaye and Family,
It is with deepest sorrow that we send condolences for you as you mourn the loss of Marv. I certainly enjoyed my years as Marv's neighbour at St. John's. One only had to work with him to realize just how good a teacher and Christian he was. His love of his family was always evident as seldom was the day that he didn't mention you as we sat at the end of the staff room table. I know how much you will miss him but we know that he lived a terrific life and is being rewarded as I write this.
May God Bless you.
Marty and Bern Lanoue
