My prayers to his family. He was one of the coolest and best dresser I ever seen out of P-Hill. How funny to say now, Wren was the only name we knew, what a fitting name for a Kool Brother. My deepest sympathy Ms. Goolsby. RIP!

I remember first meeting Wren at my aunts house I might have been 8 or 9 he must have been 12 or so. We were family folks through his dad William Goosby. In the early 70s he sat the standard for being a cool and distinguished dresser. Gone but never forgotten.
