I didn't know of your father's passing until now. I saw him at Loyola Fitness Center nearly everyday I was there from August of 2000 until I moved to Wisconsin in 2009. He was such a kind man, always ready with a smile and a good story. One of my favorites was that he offered to take Delores anywhere she wanted to go for their 50th Anniversary dinner, and she chose Russell's Barbecue.
On one of his trips to Ireland he brought me a set egg cups made in his home town. I'll treasure them always, as I will the memory of his friendship. My sincerest sympathy on your loss of a very special man.

To the family of Tim Wren, your dad was one of the most charming gentlemen I have ever met. Used to shoot the breeze with him at Loyola Fitness. God rest his lovely soul.

May you rest in eternal peace, Timmy, as you join you beloved Dolores in heaven. I will miss seeing you with my Dad at Gaelic Park and at our family milestone events.

Thank you, Timmy, for your years of service in Korea on behalf of your adopted country. May God give you a special blessing for this.

Wren family, I hope you take comfort in the many fond memories and in knowing your father, grandfather, uncle is in heaven with his darling wife.

All my love,
