For 64 years of life, Lorenzo dedicated his time and love to the family and community, which he loved so much. True definition of a Crucian. He served at the St.Croix VI Fire Department for over 30 years and ended his reigns as “Captain of Suppression.” If he wasn’t fighting fire he was always assisting someone, with his tough exterior and huge heart, he was always there when he was need. If not, he was spending time with his loved ones. His best times were spent on a baseball field, where he played on many. Renzo was a connoisseur of food. Always in the mood to give his expert advice on which ingredients can be used to compliment your pot. His absence will forever leave a huge impact on all the people that knew him, he was a good time and he would be extremely missed.
