my condolences to the Allard and Beaulieu family
I'm going to miss stopping by the house to chat with him when I visited Rhode Island.
He was very well liked and respected bu the people of Central Falls because he always told it like it was: No frills or make believes.
Now he is at peace with the BIG GUY in the heavenly kingdom doing what he likes best: gardening, handyman work and painting.

May your memories of a great husband, Father, Grandfather & Great-grandfather, give you the strength to get through your loss..
Rene was the nicest man & once our neighbor we knew for many years, I will always remember him puttering around the yard doing something in his white overalls, but he would always stop if he saw you to ask how you were doing.
May he now be resting in the arms of the Angels
