I would like to say goodbye to Rene and wish him well in heaven. My father, who was one of my bests friends, was married to Rene's sister Paulette. My dad Richard Birin loved Rene very much and I know they were very good friends. Rene came to pick me up and drive me to the hospital the day past away. Thank you Rene for being there for me that day and loving my dad Richard. I am sure the 2 of you are watching down on us together and drinking a beer. Paulette I want to give you my love and my condolences and tell you how sorry I am that you have not only lost my dad, you now have lost your brother who I know was close to you. All my love Raeshell Birin - Posted by: Raeshell Birin (Rene's sister Paulette's step daughter) on: Nov 24, 2014
