I had the pleasure of meeting with Mr Renn twice. On October 5th of this year, he had his eyes checked then came to the Optical shop I work in, Physicians Optical. I helped him decide if he needed a new frame or just Lenses. We decided the titanium frame he had purchased from us 5 years ago was in good enough shape. A week later he came to pick up his new lenses, it was Oct. 12th, and they worked well. I only met with him those two times but he had an impact on me, and my co-workers. Physicians Optical Service sends our deepest condolences. He will be missed
