Rene ….We worked together, not on instruments,but on your house in Liberty…… While I was designing the additions to the house I was always impressed by your knowledge of building..not just intsruments… So, the trips to Liberty were more than professional…We enjoyed your marvelous hospitality and cooking..I recall your warning about the buckshot in the pheasant….
And of course..over all the years watching you care for the various instruments in the family…sometimes bringing one back from the brink.
Who will be there at 10 o’clock at night when Barbara calls with an emergency..?.We remember that event seven years ago…
We will remember you…
Don

Rene’s restoration of my Storioni cello performed in 1995 was outstanding. It has remained stable and utterly beautiful for these many years. I mourn the loss of a true artist in wood and varnish.

Mon très Cher René,

Pour la première fois tu me fais de la peine..!
Toi que je considérais comme un oncle, et pour mon père « Pierre » comme un frère..!
Merci et respect à toi « Mon René », pour tout ce que tu représentais à mes yeux et à mon cœur..!
Ce que tu nous a enseigné et transmis sans réserve et avec passion..! « Merci »..!
Mon seul Bonheur, est de savoir que tu vas retrouver ton Maitre et Ami « Simone F.SACCONI »..!
Je me rappel avec Bonheur, que tu étais le dernier, lors des « Sainte Cécile » à connaître et chanter « La Bande joyeuse du Haut d’Chaumont »..!
Tu vas nous manquer « Baladin »..!
A ta famille, je veux simplement exprimer mes plus sincères condoléances et affectueuses pensées..!
« Arrivederci Baladino »…♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸ ღ

His memory is felt in the frequencies that fill the continueum.
May it be so for all music instrument makers.

Rene was one of my mentors in life and in work. He was generous, giving, caring and complimentary. His generosity was infectious. Ever grateful for what Maestro Sacconi had done for him, he helped instill that in his pupils. Whenever I visited his workshop, sat with him at meetings or met him at exhibitions, he always had nice things to say about my work. In his shop, he would always pull out the best instruments for me to study at my leisure. His sense of humor was ever present, good natured and quick witted. He charmed everyone with his incurable accent and his outlook on life. He remained young at heart and never hardened with age. At least twice he offered me a place to learn in his workshop, but I declined because I didn’t think I had the stamina to live in NYC. I will always regret not having jumped at the opportunity to work in his shop.

Dear Rene,
Your departure brings back the souvenir of the good time we had together.
You had a rare energy in the workshop. Jacques was charming, you where genius.
No secret, no doubt, your life was filed with the love of violins and you enlighten everyone around you.
I remember the good time, the jokes, the food, the drinks, the satisfaction of good restoration, the friendship.
Now my thought goes to your family that had the privilege to love you.
I am deeply sorry.
Adieu et… toutes mes amities Rene!
