Condolence From: Tim Horne
Condolence: I have come to appreciate the wonderfully insightful, sensitive and spiritual voice of Mr. Crusz after purchasing "How to Dance in This Rarefied Air" early this year (2018). I regret not having done so earlier. My sincere condolences to the family on his passing. Know that his words, "small bouquets", do continue to resonate and touch hearts.

Condolence:
My sympathies to his family. Rienzi and I read together in different parts of Canada, and indeed he was a richly talented poet, and a friend as we shared many personal stories about life and creativity. Rest in peace, old pal!

Condolence From: Marlene Laurence
Condolence: My condolences to Anne and all the family. I worked with Rienzi for many, many years at UW and was sorry to hear of his passing.
After he retired I ran into him frequently at Conestoga Mall when he was either shopping or out for a constitutional. Again my sympathies for the family.
