Uxbridge - Joseph E. Renault, 95, passed away on Monday, September 23, 2024 at UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester.

He is survived by his daughter, Janice Moulton and her husband Ken of Oxford, two sons Robert Renault and his wife Lisa of Millville, and Ronald Renault of Uxbridge; seven grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, a niece and several friends. He was predeceased by his wife of 70 years, Madeleine (Cadorette) Renault and a brother Joseph M. Renault.
Joe worked as a machinist for many area companies, including Whitin Machine Works in Whitinsville, Standard Fittings in Framingham, Smith Valve in Westboro, and West Hill Machine Co. in Mendon. He retired in 1994.
Outgoing and friendly, Joe was talented and handy. He built his two homes and could fix anything. He enjoyed fishing at the Cape, gardening, nature, camping, building models, and most of all spending time with family. He loved music and sang with his wife in the Messengers singing group. He is also Polka Paul's biggest fan. He was a member of the former Good Shepherd Church.
