My Father in Law
REST IN PEACE.. A richer man I have never known,not in material things, rich in so many true and loving friends.
Pappy was a recovering Alcoholic.He was in AA and Al anon.
The testimony of so very many of those he helped in their journey thru these groups were so overwhelming to his family.At his request an AA meeting was held in the funeral parlor the day of his funeral.Many of Pappy's family were there, and eyes were opened to how wonderful AA is. The hundreds that came thru those sad days will never know how they helped to heal our broken hearts. They were at the hospital by our sides and even in our meetings with the Drs. helping make hard decisions, that is the way Ronnie would have wanted it.
Funeral for Ronnie Glenn Penn, 68, of Hartselle will be today, May 23, 2007, at 1 p.m. at Peck Funeral Home Chapel with the Rev. Wayne Penn officiating.
Burial will be in Hartselle City Cemetery. Visitation will be today from 11:45 a.m. until 12:45 p.m. at the funeral home.
Mr. Penn, who died Monday, May 21, 2007, at Huntsville Hospital, was born Oct. 25, 1938, in Morgan County to Marvin Penn and Grace Rodgers Penn. He retired from Wolverine Tube with 42 years of service. He was a Christian and enjoyed life, going out to eat and visiting with family and friends, especially the staff, the waitresses always took care of him and his special diet..(Jamie was special to him) Oh Bryan's Steak House. He was active for 23 years with the friends of Bill W. and Dr. Bob. His parents; and a brother, Willard Penn, preceded him in death.
