Robert , Bob , Rick , Ronnie , Michael and family ,
I am so sorry to hear what happened , I still can't believe it . You are all in my thoughts .
Rene was one of my life long best friends . I have known him for about 35 years . We had so many good times together .
He always had such a great personality and always was smiling .
Yes, his car for many , many years was his baby . Always keeping it cleaned and tuned up .
But I can tell you the day that changed . That was the day that he became a father to Michael .
He loved his son more than anything .
Michael you were very lucky to have Rene for a dad , I know he is with you today and will always be with you .
He was very proud of you and I know he always wanted the best for you . You were his everything .
I will never forget Rene , he was one of a kind , and am grateful to have been able to call him my friend .
Rest In Peace my friend .

I have known Rene and most of the family for decades. We spoke often at Klems cruise night about his beloved Camaro. His son was always with him and always had a huge smile... this is a terrible tragedy and my heart goes out to the entire family. He was a good friend and WILL BE MISSED...
