Not sure what to say?

Father Rene was a priest who truly loved his calling.
May he rest in peace knowing that He is a beautiful son of God. He is missed.

Rene, We miss and love you!! Sincerely, Marian & Matt Farris

When Father Rene went to our Class Reunions, he talked to my wife all the time, and she didnt even go to CCHS. Doreen was from Keveny High School in Cohoes. We sure miss him.

What a wonderful man from beginning to end.Thank you for believing in people.

First, my family's condolences to Father Rene's family. I know your heartache is immense. May the Good Lord carry you through this time of mourning. My prayers are with you as it is for my family grieving Father's loss. Father Rene taught my daughter religion at FSDB during the 90's. He lovingly became a part of our family quite quickly. He was a huggable bear :-) wanting to keep him close. He deeply loved the deaf community whether you were an adult rich in Faith or a young child...

Father René I remember you welcoming me into FSDB and comforting me at your church! I will never forget you and how you were always helpful!( you will never be forgotten!)
