Dear Rento Family, Our thoughts and prayers go out to your entire family at this sad time. Dr. Rento began treating my siblings and myself in the 1960s and then I was blessed to have him as our pediatrician for my children. We will never forget his kindness and remarkable ability to care for everyone. What a special man in so many ways! God bless all of you as you celebrate his wonderful life knowing he is now in a much better place! The Kurtz Family

Paying our respects to Dr. Rento this evening was a beautiful culmination to what we felt was more than a doctor/patient relationship with a warm and caring man who was not only our pediatrician but our friend. Today March 2nd would have been the 35th birthday of our little Jodie whose short life was touched by Dr. Rento. I am sure our little angel has welcomed him into heaven to continue to serve our Lord Jesus. May his beautiful family be comforted by knowing how much he was loved and will be missed.

My family and I were very sad to hear about Dr. Rento's passing. Both he and his very qualified staff were so nice to both our daughter and son, through the 80's and 90's. As others have said, he always took the time to clearly and cheerfully explain whatever situation brought you to his office. In recent years, he could frequently be seen doing (and enjoying!) yard work here in Clifton, next door to us at his daughter's house. He

I am the mom of the little girl in the picture with Dr.Rento in The Record Newspaper. Krystal was born weighing 1lb. 7oz. and had very bad asthma . The only Dr. she would see was Dr. Rento he made her feel at ease and she loved him very much. Today she is a 16 year old beautiful teenager . Our condolences go out to his family which he spoke so much of !!! One of my daughters teachers actually saw the paper and cut it out for her. God Bless You Dr. Rento .

We have lost a great colleague and valued mentor in Dr. Rento. We were privledged to have had the opportunity to work with him and share his insights. He treated children with such kindness and was so dedicated to his practice. Our deepest sympathies to the family.

To the Rento family: My deepest sympathy to all of you on the death of your beloved Dr. Rento. He was our pediatrician for our daughters, Theresa and Lauren. He had such a wonderful way with children, and I remember when we had appointments with the Group, they only wanted to see Dr. Rento.
I spent four years on the Little Falls School Board with Dr. Rento and I found him to be kind, wise and ever so helpful to the "newcomer." He was a true gentleman...one of a kind.

To the Rento family: 31 years ago my infant son became critically ill the day after he was born and was subsequently diagnosed with an extremely grave illness Dr. Rento had never seen in a ‘normal’ newborn. With the help of medicine, God and time he did recover, however, the early years of his life were a little complicated, at times quite rocky and he was a “frequent flyer” in the office. My favorite memory is waiting in an exam

Dear Rento Family, So very sorry to hear of Dr. Rento's passing. Dr. Rento was recommended to me in May 1998 when we welcomed our son from Korea and became our pediatrician. What a VERY special man who will never be forgotten by all the children and parents whose lives he touched. With Deepest Sympathy, Debbie Fahy
