Renne C. Komula Sr.

Komula, Sr. Renne C. Komula, Sr., age 72, left this life after a brief but brave battle with cancer on July 23, 2015 at home surrounded by his loving family. Renne was born on August 11, 1942 in Erie, Pennsylvania to the late Arthur A. and Mildred (Hazen) Komula.

He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Ann (Allred) Komula; children, Renne (Dena) Komula and Lisa (Timothy) Speidel; and grandchildren, Ashley, Timothy, and Tyler Speidel and Noah and Luke Komula.
