René Vionnet married with Roxane Vionnet Lutry. His life was expanded by an openness to the world by participating in various actions of Moral Rearmament.Among others, the creation of the play 'l'Echelle' of Peter Howard, in the sixties, given in the canton of Vaud and the numerous visits that followed.
The traces that René leaves are deeply inscribed, not only in the field, but in lives and in hearts of people who knew him. He understood that true healing of the body comes from the loving contact between his spirit and that of his Creator and Master. For him, this was the essential thing: to transmit his joy of life to those he met along the way. This is what allows me to pass this time of mourning with peace and gratitude.
René Vionnet passed away on November 17, 1996.
A fatal heart attack took him away from this land he loved so much. He died in this nature where he practiced his profession of gardener-arboriculturist and which was the source of life, of truth, of balance that nourished his personal life, his inner life and his words of philosopher.
