RENN, William A., 88, died April 24, 2021 of natural causes. Bill Renn, only son of the late and beloved parents, William Matthew Renn and Emma (Longere) Renn, was born November 12, 1932. He grew up on the Southside Fountain Square area of Indianapolis and graduated from Arsenal Technical High School in 1950. He served in the United States navy Submarine Service in the Pacific during the Korean War aboard the USS Greenfish (SS-351). After service, he held management positions in savings and loan mortgage banking and land title companies. Upon retiring, Bill enjoyed working in a gift shop, an apple orchard and as a role player for companies assisting in disaster training. He also liked most sports, music, movies, flowers, dancing and cookouts with chocolate, Mountain Dew and carrot cake being favored. A dog, but not his, named Mongo, a gentle regal giant dog, often visited whose quiet presence was always welcomed and provided spiritual comfort. Bill and his wife Juanita, who preceded him in death in 2006, enjoyed their years together in their home on White Lake, (Prince's Lakes Nineveh area), entertaining family and friends. The last few years, Bill enjoyed being invited to boat rides and sharing "the gloaming" of the day, lakeside in the company of the most gracious of friends and their families. Bill is survived by his beloved step-daughter, Donalee who remained close during Bill's final months, 3 step-granddaughters and 2 great-grandchildren. There will be no services. Arrangements have been entrusted to Meredith-Clark Funeral Home in Morgantown. In lieu of flowers or donations, Bill hopes you find joy in your life and bring joy to others you hold dear. Condolences may be sent to the family at Meredith-clark.com. Published in The Indianapolis Star May 1, 2021.
