Charlene, I extend my deepest sympathy to you and family on the loss of your dear Ken. I will always cherish the memory of the trips that my buddy Ken and I took to Chicago to take in an opera or to Evanston for a cello masterclass. And I will always cherish the memory of the best couple on the dance floor...Ken and Charlene. Bruce

Charlene, David and Cheryl, my sympathy at your loss. Ken was a cheerful, considerate man who loved you all very much. Because Sally Redar, a former neighbor to both of us, let me know of his passing I pray for your peace and strength from our loving Savior. Marilyn Brockopp

We are also neighbors of the Renshaw's and were so sad to hear of his passing. He was such a kind, friendly person, and loved music so much, and it was always fun to hear his music playing as he did his yard work. He went to many of my husband's concerts at the University, and I will always remember him smiling and being friendly with everyone around him there, as well. Such a loss to the community. God's garden will be richer with him there, but we will miss him very much.

No one had a better time on the dance floor than Ken Renshaw. It was a pleasure to watch he and his bride, Charlene, dance with such grace. A true gentleman. He will be greatly missed by the entire Tom Milo Big Band, and most particularly The Milo family. Our thoughts and prayers for peace in wonderful memories go out to Charlene, David, and Cheryl.

I am so sorry to hear of Kenny's passing. We were neighbors for a number of years and he was a very kind and considerate gentleman. I will never forget one time I looked out my kitchen window onto Kenny and Charlene's back yard in the winter and he had taken a snow shovel and made a huge heart that took up the whole back yard and put KR + CR. You could always see how much love they had for each other. May he rest in peace and may God bless Charlene in her time of sorrow.
