Rene Crete Sr.

I just found out about Rene passing. My heart is heavy with sorrow. I will be forever grateful to have known you growing up, I still talk about so many great times we all had together. You are forever in my heart. My deepest sympathies to Liz, Rene Jr., and Emily. My heart goes out to you all. I love you all.

The world was a better place with you in it Rene!
You brought joy to so many! You always were kind to me, even when I hogged the bathroom! I know our Moms are happy to be with you in heaven, and hopefully there's a keyboard for you to play!
Rest easy my friend! Love always, Dee

Rene and I go back to grammar school in Holyoke where I met him in 4th grade while I lived in Belchertown. He, Rene Parent and I went to visit LaSalette in Cheshire but the 2 Renes went on to that school, while I met up after attending high school at home in Holyoke where we had moved. We spent 2 years at Altamont and had not seen Rene for a long time.
He was extremely talented musically- I was astounded at his ability to play the guitar and enjoyed hearing him and Vic Zelinski jam. ...

Dear Emily and family. I was so saddened to hear of the passing of your Dad. I hope that the wonderful memories of him help you all at this very difficult time. My deepest condolences and heart hugs to you.
Fondly,
Nancy Bourdeau
