Rene was hands down the strongest man I have ever seen in person. More than that, he was quietly brilliant. He taught me more about a common sense approach to fabrication in 10 minutes a day that made me rethink years of training. He would do anything for the people he cared about. Unforgettable human being.
So many wonderful memories we have made with Rene and family. I remember the young boy looking over Radu int eh immigration camp, the trip form Burlington VT to Indy and our fun times in the small apartment together. The fishing, the camping and all other happy and sad family events we shared together over time. We will miss you Rene. You have been an amazing human being and you will live in our hearts.
with Love
Corina, Radu and Savannah
