René will be remembered for many years as he contributed to his community as a volunteer ambulance driver, volunteer firefighter, member of the town council and hall committee for many years where he helped with the maintenance of the park and called bingo. He was also a member of the “chevaliers de colomb”, drove school bus, owned and operated the Badiou Mini-Stop, worked as power engineer at Notre-Dame Hospital and Foyer and was an avid Hawks and Clubs fan.  Above all his family will remember him as a man who was always smiling and loved to make people laugh.  His grandkids will remember his famous quote “Behave. And if you can’t behave, be careful.”
