Barbara and family,
I was sorry to hear of Norman's passing. Though I never met him I felt as if I knew him.I worked in the the same area as Barbara for a couple of years (at Fleet)and Norman was always part of her conversation - a family man with deep concern for his wife and children and grandchildren. Not until I read about his death did I realize how many things he was involved with aside from being a family man and more.May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Mr Renaud was a wonderful man and even better father/grandfather. I had the honor of working at many tournaments with him and his close family. One could talk with him easily about any topic and feel comfortable knowing that he cared for you as a person. He conveyed a sense of dignity and respect that shows in his family, and he was very proud of ALL of them.
I can remember when I cut down one his trees in his yard some 25 years ago. Boy, was I afraid to meet his son in the middle of the road that day, knowing he was my karate instructor. Yet, never a negative word came from Mr Renaud nor his son, Ron. He never asked for an apology and we laughed about it for many years. I can still see those rosy red cheeks laughing at the college freshman with the chain saw afraid to catch a beating for cutting down a tree.
Every spring brings a special reunion at Bryant that Mr Renaud has always been involved with. I just can't see next year's tournament being the same without smiling proud Mr Renaud bragging about his grandchildren. I could go on and on and never do justice to the man known as Normand H. Renaud.
Mr Renaud is looking down on us all and smiling, happy that he did a great job as a father and role model for the many people he came in contact with throughout his life. I offer my sincerest sympathies to his family. To say he will be missed is a huge understatement. God Bless.

There was never a man more committed to his family and friends than my dad. He gave his heart and sole to his family. Everyday he would call me and my children to see how we all were and to tell us that he loved us. Many days I would hear that message three times. He was my best friend and my DAD. I will miss him more than words can express. I have a million memories and they are all great. Love always, Ron
