Diane, Curt, Cindy and the family - We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Diane just email'd me - we would have been there had we known. You have such a wonderful family, and your dad was ever so special. I will always remember his smiling face and kind words when he asked about my mother. He will be missed - I will keep the entire family in our prayers, but I know that he is home with your Mom and at peace. We love you...Dave and Lynn

Marlin, Curt, and Diane,
We are so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. He was such a nice, soft spoken person, but we know from his writing the Renninger History, that he was a great thinker. We were truly astonished with all he wrote. He loved his genealogy. May God grant him peace as he joins your mother and sister.
Love
Randy and Susan
