Tributes posted on the REFORMANET Listserv as compiled by Al Milo


I was just informed that Rene Amaya passed away on December 26. Many of you will remember Rene who served as National REFORMA Treasurer for several years and also was one of the founders of the LA Chapter, serving as Chapter President in the mid- 80's. Rene retired from the County of Los Angeles Public Library a few years ago where his last position was Reference Librarian at the East Los Angeles Public...

To Rene's loved ones: Could you tell me a little about Rene's life in California so we can publish a brief notice of Rene's passing for the Oakland Community College community here in Michigan? Thank you.
Dennis Souter, Librarian

Rene gave me my start as a librarian at Oakland Community College in Michigan in 1971. What a fine person he was and an excellent librarian. I am so sorry to hear of his passing.

It's very sad to hear that our friend and great librarian has passed away. I had the privilege to see and spoke with René at California .He was a great person. We will miss our colleague.

Dear J.C. and familia,
We were greatly saddened by the passing of Rene, a dear colleague and friend. A dedicated Reformista, he provided leadership and financial expertise for both the Los Angeles Chapter and the national organization for many years.

I will remember Rene as a person of great wit, integrity, and intelligence. My husband also sends his condolences. He and Rene often spoke of their days with the Census B.

Que descanse en paz.
