Rene owned and operated Car 51 with City Cab for many years. He was a member of the Brant Flying Club, and enjoyed the time he spent out on the flying field. Rene always had a soft spot for family pets and felt a home was never complete without one. His dogs were his faithful companions until the end.
Rene's family extends heart-felt gratitude to CCAC, their compassionate nurses, Dr. Keleher, Dr. Langridge, and staff at the Kitchener Cancer Centre. Rene's last days were spent at Lisaard House. The excellent care and family support provided by Dr. Casey and staff was a great comfort during a difficult time.
