A man of both wisdom and humor, Rene often reminded his family to “save ten percent of their earnings,” a lesson he lived by and encouraged others to follow. He was known for his generosity, his storytelling, and his ability to bring people together.

The family would like to extend their gratitude to the staff at Moffitt McKinley Hospital for their compassion and dedication in caring for Rene.
