Rich,
I'm so sorry to hear of Rene's passing. He was always nice to me. I recall one Christmas, at your parent's home, where he showed a great kindness towards my son, Randy, Randy was only a year old then. But I never forgot how grateful I was for him speaking out.
My thoughts and prayers will be with you and the rest of your family.
