Reynold P. "Renny" Notareschi

Poland – Reynold P. “Renny” Notareschi, 94, of Poland, passed away peacefully Sunday afternoon, with his loving family by his side.

Renny will be remembered and loved by those that knew him as a wonderful and generous husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. He infused everyone’s life with his exceptional sense of humor and adventure whether it was escaping into a western for a few hours or taking dirt bike out for a spin.  

He was born November 24, 1925 in Youngstown, the son of Pasquale and Mary (Sack) Notareschi and was a lifelong area resident.

Renny proudly served his country in the United States Coast Guard – Merchant Marine on the U.S.S. Brazil and earned the rank of Stewards Mate, Second Class. He was awarded the Merchant Marine Emblem and Presidential Testimonial Letter before being Honorably Discharged on October 9, 1944.

Renny had a hard work ethic and drove semi-trucks hauling freight locally for over 44 years. He was employed with various contractors working through the Teamsters Union Local 377.

He had a strong faith in God and was a member of Christ Our Savior Parish – St. Nicholas Church, Struthers since 1949.

Renny had many passions throughout his life. He enjoyed traveling in the United States and abroad, attending old car shows, gardening, golfing, watching Westerns on TV and was an avid sports fan especially rooting on his favorite teams the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns and the Ohio State Buckeyes. His other enjoyments always came from spending time with his family, either from a simple Sunday dinner around the table or on holidays to dirt biking and hunting with his sons and grandsons or attending his grandchildren’s events. Renny was always so proud of his family and their accomplishments.

His wife the former Phyllis T. “Minnie” Murphy whom he married August 29, 1946 at SS. Cyril & Methodius Church passed away on April 24, 2016.
