I met Rene in High School..he definitely had a charming personality, a big smile and a contagious laugh. Lost touch with him but blessed to have known him, to call him my friend. I know for sure... Mr. Celaya and Rene are living it up in Paradise.. Love and Diosito's Blessings to Becky, Leo and all the Celaya Family.

I wanted to express my condolences to Rene's family. Although we lost track of each other during college, my Junior and High School memories of Rene are some of the best a person could have. We mixed the priorities of school work, causing trouble and having fun perfectly. Every day was something new. He was a special person then and it appears that never stopped. Rest in Peace Rene.

Rene was a person that no one can replace for having the greastest attitude ever. Such a great man. Condolances to the Celaya family. I am so sad to see Rene gone from us. I worked with him for years at Hughes also. His smile could stay with you forever. I saw him at Best Buy with his new sports car convertable and he told me he was retired and very happy. The Lord has taken him now. Christ Be With You my friend.

I haven't seen Rene since about 1980, but what a wonderful person. We had some great times in high school. Rene was about as real as a person could be - Down to earth, genuine. Our thoughts and prayers to the Celaya family.

Best regards,

Dan
