Condolences to Rene's children and Parents for your loss and grief in your time of sorrow. Rene and I were old school friends and throughout the years when we would encounter each other we would have catch up conversations of all our old friends. I was shocked to hear of his passing. May the Lord heal the void of his loss and comfort you with the memories he has left you. God Bless You and any friends that are also hurting by his loss and appease the pain with the thought that he left a legacy of friends that loved and cared for him.

To my friend Rene, I remember when we were teenagers riding around in your green Chevelle Super Sport on a Saturday night. We were headed to the Casino and other hot spots in the Metroplex. Some nights we would take my 57 Chevy and we would pick up all of the guys, Tony, John, Ruben, Floyd, Pancho, Oscar and a few other guys. Remember when I got back from Vietnam you picked me up and took me to work for a whole year. We had a lot of good times, fun times. I was so sad when I heard the news Saturday morning. You have a wonderful family, I remember your parents, your brother, and sisters. I remember meeting all of your children. Everyone was always wonderful to me. I am going to miss you and your friendship, we have so many stories yet to tell but, for now they will just be our memories. God's speed my dear friend. Your friends, Johnny and Hortensia Avina
