Address: El Paso, TX

Sorry to hear that my Cousin Rene passed on, last time we saw him and the family in the 70's we live in Los Angeles, Ca.

I send my condolences to Consuelo and family. In '69 I lived in San Jose. I heard Rene on radio on KBRG in San francisco. He did midnite to six. His show was different  from other shows in Spanish at the time. He would play a broad range of music. I remember the French singer Charles Aznaveur was one of his favorites. Rene introduced the record in French. He played a fado by Portuguese songstress Amalia Rodrigues making the intro in Portugues. He had a flare for languages I guess. He spoke some English on the air too. He amazed me with language. Marcos Guttierez who was at KBRG also dropped by on Rene the two cracked me up. I later met Rene at KGO CH7 He was a news writer. He and I Wrote back and forth. When he later worked at ch11 KNTV he picked me up at my house and took me to visit the station. I have Cerebral Palsy and use a wheelchair and was able to acomodate. Your Steve Crosno was one of his favorites he told me. I Know Rene did a lot of bad puns ''If you can Rene can too.[Cantu]I always have a memory of all the djs and radio folks I'd hear and Rene is there too. Please contact me when you can Id be interested in Rene's favorite writers RIP Rene Dave Keeley Tacoma Washington djkeeley1@gmail.com

Kelly - I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. I have fond memories from when we were kids. I hope we can get in touch again some day. You are always in my heart, but even more so now.

I was very sorry to hear about Rene.  I was fortunate to have him as an interpreter in my courtroom.  I remember his wonderful smile, his wise words and most importantly his friendship.  His corbata de cien bolitas will always be in my heart.  Rene always spoke lovingly about his family.  I hope to meet you some day.  Mis oraciones y sentimientos estan con Uds.  Rene was my friend and I will miss him.

My sincere and most profund condolences to the family of this extraordinary man. I remember him from the times he was a reporter with the television stations. Most recently he assited judicial proceedings in my court with his usual professional courtesy, respect and humor. I will always appreciate the service he provided. Judge Antonio Rodriguez.

I knew Rene Cantu during the last few years that he worked as an interpreter at the Courthouse.  I came to have a great deal of respect for the man.  He was excellent at his job.  He was conscientious and hardworking.  He will be missed by his colleagues and those who worked along side him in Court.  He was one of the good guys.

I will always remember his TV persona. He was so funny. May God bless his family. Descanse en Paz.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Rene's family. Mr. Cantu was such a wonderful man, who always had a smile on his face. May God Bless Mr. Cantu's family, and may he rest in peace.

Recuerdo a Rene con mucho afecto, era simpatiquisimo y super inteligente, cuando salia un avance al aire con la camara en el centro de redaccion de el  canal 26, el se paraba discretamente de su asiento (mientras el presentador continuaba con el avance al aire) y llegaba hasta donde estaba sentado yo luego empezaba a imitar como que me estaba gritando enfurecido regañandome por algo! pero sin decir nada ni soltar ningun sonido esto por 15 segundos...despues regresaba a su lugar y se sentaba como si nada y el avance terminaba al aire...buenisimo! me hacia reir tanto, lo recuerdo mucho y siempre lo llevare en mis pensamientos. mi mas sentido pesame a su Sra. Esposa y su Hija. -Ruben Robledo -

Rene, was my first student trainer at El Paso High school. (1961-1963)
He had a desire to learn and a heart to serve.
He was a delight to have around even as a high school student.
Best wishes to his family.

Señora Cantú, conoci a René en el programa de radio, donde cada Martes de mañana hablabamos sobre el tema de la diabetes.  René era un hombre inteligente, talentoso y tenia un genuino interes en la gente de esta comunidad y además mostro ser un buen amigo.  Durante un tiempo el estuvó apoyando los esfuerzos de la Asociación de Diabetes de El Paso en tratar de concientizar a nuestra comunidad sobre esta enfermedad.  Se le recuerda con mucho cariño y respeto.


    René invited me to his noon show on Canal 26 back in 1995 to talk about Art. He was proud of his "Corbata de cien bolas".
My Brooklyn Bridge painting formed the backdrop and I told him that I had never walked on it while I lived there for 6 years but went back for that experience before completing the painting. He said that he walked across the Golden Gate bridge, but many people who live there all their lives never walk over it. 
We must not die with our music inside. We must walk to the top of the highest mountain where we live and the bridges that connect our cities and countries.
If there is another life after this, I hope he is walking over that Golden Bridge to get there!

Consuelo, I am very sorry to have heard about your husband.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mis mas sentido pesame para la familia de un gran amigo y ex companero de trabajo. Dios los Bendiga y los llene de Su Fuerza Espiritual. Margarita Castanon (El Paso, TX)

Consuelo los recuerdo con mucho carino.  Que Nuestro Senor lo lleve de la mano hasta el Cielo.

Mi mas sentido pesame, que Dios nuestro senor les de la fuerza para seguir adelante

I am very saddened to hear of Rene's passing. Rene had the soul of an artist. I remember him for his kindness, his great sensitivity and his humor. He will be remembered as KINT-TV's morning show host with his "corbata de cien bolas". My condolences to his family.

Concha, Micaela, I am filled with sorrow at the loss of my long-time friend. Micaela, he was so very proud of you and everything you have done. Concha, you were truly the love of his life. I have so many  memories - from Teatro Los Pobres, Viva El Paso, our international Bishops' conference and lately the Courthouse. Rene was truly a great soul, a loving soul and a special gift to our world. Thank you for sharing him with us. Know that you are in my prayers as you begin this new life without his daily presence. Blessings and love, Ouisa.

Familia Cantu, expresole mi mas sentido pesame. Conoci a Don Rene hace mas de quince aÃ±os, tiempo durante el cual pude constatar que era todo un seÃ±oron, con una capacidad admirable para ayudar, apoyar y aconsejar al amigo. Se nos adelanto un poco pero deja a muchisimos amigos quienes vamos a extraÃ±ar sus comentarios siempre salpicados de buen humor y su bondad, sencillez y humildad.  Hasta pronto maestro.   L. Esparza
