Champagne, age 84, of Cupertino, passed away peacefully surrounded by close
family and friends at Kaiser Hospital in Santa Clara on Friday, December
15th, 2017. Born in Kerkom, Belgium on February 16, 1933, Rene, son of
Antoine Champagne & Marie-Guilluimine nee Poelmans, moved to Canada in 1955.
He became a US citizen in 1964. Known as “Champ” to friends, he was an avid
aviation & mechanical engineering enthusiast. Rene worked for TWA for over
34 years, moving to California with the company in 1965. He married Lilli on
June 21, 1967 in San Francisco. Rene will be sadly missed by his nurturing
wife Lilli, his two loving daughters — Christina & Theresa, his
grandchildren who knew him as Bonpa — Tiegan & Kaj, his son-in-laws — James
& Sergio, and in Belgium his brothers — Jacques and Georges as well as his
niece, Ingrid. In lieu of flowers, please consider gifts to the Humane
Society as Champ had a special love for animals in need. Special thanks to
the Kaiser Hospital & Hospice teams for the caring support.
