Not sure what to say?

So sad to hear you are no longer with us. I always enjoyed working with you at the Good-n-Plenty Restaurant in Barrington. We had a few good laughs.
RIP Rene, you will be missed by many. ❤

Although Rene was 4 years older than me, I remember him well as a kid growing up in Farmington. He was a very popular guy and the Cardinal family was well-known for their restaurants!! (I have many fond memories of dining at the Wagon Wheel with my parents as a kid!) He, obviously, was proud of that tradition and carried on in the Cardinal way! Sorry to hear of his passing, way too soon..May your memories and good times shared bring you comfort and peace.

Loved his pork pie

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved ones today and always. May God bless you and all of your family. It’s a blessing that we’re related. You are so special!And you will certainly be missed.❤
