I had the pleasure of working closely with Rene at St Michaels Hospital while we tried to deliver (and did) the new patient care tower. I noyl found out today of Rene's passing and regret that I could not be there to see him off. Rene was an absolute gentleman and I always felt as though the best interests of the hospital were in good hands with Rene involved. He helped me integrate from my first day at SMH right up until my last. I am just gutted that he is gone but reading all the others note here, I see (and am not surprised) that Rene was a wonderful father and friend. My condolences to all his family and friends and I thankfully will have good memories of Rene.

Rene was a beautiful human, at every Doherty event he would always make us feel so welcome and loved. We wish we lived closer to be with all the family during this sad and tragic time. Love you all

First, Rene in a Ramones shirt is perfect: simultaneous a touch of wry humour but also sincerity that he would love. The family, and the world, has lost a wonderful person. Rene was full of insight about the world but yet never cynical; quick with ironic humour but always kind; a truly authentic peson who always left us feeling better after being with him. Above all, I have never met anyone who spoke about his children with more insight, empathy and love than Rene, becuase I think fundamentally, he was them, and they are him. We will miss you Rene. Our deepest condolences to the family. David Hodgson & Family

I never had the pleasure to work directly with René on a project, but I did have the opportunity to share an office space with him and with that I had that the ability to share several after work beers, lunch outings, and opportunities to shoot the proverbial “shit” with him. Also use him as a life line, any time I had been in way over my head, which happened to be a lot. Even though I may have been a burden to bug him all the time he never showed it, and always welcomed me with only the occasional light jeering and a wealth of knowledge, understanding and patience. I can also say he is the main reason why I bought a bike and continue to bike to and from work. I recall when I first started riding into work I asked him when he put the bike away for the winter, he simply replied “as long as there isn’t snow on the ground im ridin’”. Foolishly I took that as a challenge, saying to myself “if René could do it I surely can as well” However as the first set of tears froze upon my cheeks riding down yonge street in -20 degree weather It occurred to me, maybe just because René could do something, does not mean everyone can, but quite the opposite. Throughout getting to know him more, I feel that that is analogous to Rene, he could do so much, so effortlessly with a smile and nonchalance, that not many could. He will be greatly missed,

dear reener, dad, you really were awesome you were funny, and thoughtful, and handsome you were compassionate and kind and someday I hope I will find a relationship like you had with mum way back when I was a kid there was so much that you and I did from sports teams and soccer drives to long hikes and bike rides and all the puzzles that you and I tried many memories I will not soon get rid you were always there for me through school, and my engineering degree through concussions and heartbreaks and all of my mistakes you helped me work out whom I want to be many tools you taught me how to use, together, we watched the Leafs lose I’ll remember the skiing, Switzerland sightseeing, and singing to Queen, Elton, and Bruce there are things we won’t get to do it's hard to believe, yes, but it’s true you won’t give me my ring we won’t go camping but I’m grateful for the time I had with you and you won’t ever really be gone in me, you will always carry on when I tell a joke that’s dumb and wear this ring on my thumb and when I run in my next marathon and yes, we will take care of buddy continue to work hard and study I won’t leave the lights on I will mow the farm lawn and forgive Andrew when he bugs me i knew you were always proud about that, you were loud and I’ll do my very best to make you proud of all I do next even if you’re no longer around I love you dad, pickle

I’m so sad Rene is no longer part of our world. He was the best kind of mentor. His steady, calm, and kind approach to life and work is what I continue to try and achieve, 17 years after first meeting him. I remember calling him while I was still finishing university and asked him “how do I become you?” - I can see now, the answer is simple. It’s impossible, there is no one else like him and we were all so fortunate to know him. My thoughts are with his family at this tragic time. Love, Kelly
