It is with great sadness that I post this message in memoriam of Dr. Don Renchie, Extension Program Leader and Coordinator, Regents Fellow, Professor & Extension Pesticide Safety Education Specialist. Dr Renchie, Uncle Don or in some circles "the Reverend" since he could preach pesticide safety better than anyone. Don was not just a colleague to me, he was a mentor, a father figure and just one of the very best humans I have known in my life. I am encouraging all that knew him to feel free to use this post to share your memories of him, share some of his fun photos or one of his many many sayings.
