“In loving memory of Renauld White, When I got started in the modeling business in the late 70s, I met Rennie. He was extraordinarily kind, supporting and helpful. I visited him at his place in Connecticut several times and always thought he was one the most amusing and best humans ever. RIP my friend 😢”

“Rennie and I did many fashion shows together in the late 70’s, 80’s an early 90’s. I got to know him fairly well. I lived in Westport, CT. He purchased a place in Connecticut not real far from me and we got together occasionally and always had the best time. He was a favorite of mine. He was one of the most successful male models ever!”

LaMont Bristol wrote a sympathy message

“He was my close friend from child hood. We grew up in Newark, sharing highs and lows in life. From days of hanging out in Manhattan at the Palladium, dancing "Salsa" to his iconic rise as the 1st black male "supermodel" he remained a caring steadfast friend'. I have tons of fond memories of those days! Renny was family to me. Like a "brother" from another mother, I loved him. To his remaining family my heartfelt condolence. To my beloved friend PEACE.
