Working at Fort Richmand mall (shoppers Drug) I knew Lash, if you still are called that. I remember her dad and mother. Cucumbers etc. Beautiful couple. I was so saddened to see his picture in the paper. Knew him right away. My deepest thoughts are with you, at this time of adjustment. Sincerely Elaine. - Posted by: Elaine Alexander (many years ago.) on: Jul 23, 2013

My condolences to the family. I worked at the Safeway warehouse in the 70’s & 80’s and have fond memories of Rene in the Receiving Department. He was a hard worker and a happy fun guy who would often share wonderful stories about his family. - Posted by: Judy Labossière (Coworker Safeway Grocery Warehouse) on: Jul 19, 2013

I worked at the Safeway warehouse for 18 years and Rene was one of those people who always brought sunshine to my day. His smiling face, funny jokes and stories made everyone laugh. Rene had a special glint in his eyes when he chatted about family and he was so proud of all of you. Kindly accept my sincerest condolences. - Posted by: June Wiebe (Coworker Safeway Grocery Warehouse ) on: Jul 19, 2013
