Randel Lee "Ronnie" Renfrow

Randel "Ronnie" Lee Renfrow, 79, of Owensboro passed away peacefully surrounded by his family Friday, April 20, 2018. He was born November 18, 1938 to the late Margaret Crowe Renfrow (2010) and the late M.E. "Jack" Renfrow (2004). He served in the US Air Force from 1955 to 1960 stationed in Hawaii and working in telecommunications. He became a master plumber in September 1969, joined the Plumbers and Pipefitters Local #633 where he remained a member after retiring in 2007.

Randel had a passion for anything outdoors, loved feeding the birds and squirrels, and looked forward to when he could plant his shrubs and beautiful flower beds giving him the nickname "Flower Daddy". He had many interests to include music, loved strumming his guitar, books, movies, trains and coin collecting. He was fascinated with the Solar System and anything to do with space exploration. Luck was with him and his enjoyment of scratch off lottery tickets. He looked forward to and truly enjoyed the casino trips with his daughters "Beanie Gal" (Brenda) and "Bobzee (Barb), and his sons-in-law. The memories and laughter shared was the true winning. He found joy in a simple trip to Reid's Orchard or shopping at "Sam's Buffet" (Club) with his Mady Gal (Madyson). He contributed to several charitable organizations mainly involving children and veterans.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his grandson, Joey L.E. Brown in June 2009; brothers, Wallace, Truman, Glenn and Gerald Renfrow.

The daughters wish to thank all involved in the loving care of their father, especially Dr. Melanie Farrell and Cheryle Brown, RN with One Health Pallative Care. Your gentle touch was a blessing.
