Joseph Martin Rensch, 62 of Toledo passed away peacefully in his residence on Monday, July 14, 2014 with his family by his side. Joe was born in Washington D.C. on June 11, 1952 to John Leo & Norma Jean (Grimes) Rensch.
After graduating from Waite High School in 1970, Joe joined the Marine Corp, in which he proudly served. In 1977 he started his own landscape company, Rensch Landscape Management. He was an honest businessman and customers knew they could take him at his word. Unfortunately his illness had recently kept him from the day to day operations. His son continues to serve the Toledo area with the same understanding of quality that goes with the Rensch Landscape Management name.
In addition to his strong work ethic, Joe had a passion for basketball. For over ten years he coached youth basketball for several organizations (East Toledo Family Center, CYO, and Sylvania Recreation). He enjoyed the opportunity to pass on his knowledge and skill of the game. His greatest joy was coaching his own two sons and watching them play basketball.
Surviving are his loving wife 31 years, Cherlynn E. 'œCherree' (Huber); sons, Matt Rensch, Joshua (Ashley) Rensch; grandchildren, Joel and Carson Rensch; father, John Rensch; sisters, Jeri Permar, Valerie Baumbach, Nancy Kauffman. Also surviving are many nieces and nephews. Joe was preceded in death by his mother.
There will be no visitation. A Celebration of Joe'™s Life will be held on Saturday, July 19 from 2 to 6 p.m. at his home at 3152 Wilford Drive, Sylvania Township, Ohio 43617. Eggleston Meinert & Pavley Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.
