Mr. James William â??Billâ? Renney, Jr., 59, of Wakefield, passed away suddenly May 18, 2011 at his home. Bill was predeceased by his parents James William Renney, Sr. and Ila Mae Skinner Renney of Wakefield.

Bill was the owner of Renney Auction and Realty Company in Wakefield. He was a member of the Shack Gunning Club and the Wakefield United Methodist Church.
