Its never easy accepting the passing of a loved one. Rene was always a good uncle to me. Fun times like the annual Stampede get-together in his backyard. I remember conversations at his kitchen table, about the electrical trade and the stock market which were both interests we shared. He will be missed but always remembered.

Sorry to read about Rene's passing. I have some fond memories of dealing Rene when we were both in the Active 20 30 club. He always had a smile on his face. Please accept my sincerest condolences. Ron Leigh
