We enjoyed our visits with Rene when he came to the library. He will be missed. In particular, we enjoyed the stories of his cats’ shenanigans and his memories of growing up in North Jay. Rest in Peace…
I picked Rene up many times to take mostly to our local Niles library in North Jay. We grew up together in a the small town of North Jay. He will be missed seen walking with his stick. RIP my friend
You will be missed, Rene! Rest in Peace!
