I've swam for numerous coaches and Rey was the only one whom I ever respected enough to call "coach", both on and off the pool deck. From swimming in a pool full of gnats to getting kicked out of our water polo games, coach was always pushing us to the limit and supporting us wholeheartedly. He is the only person who ever understood what drove me to swim and used that knowledge to mold me into a better athlete, but more importantly a better individual. Rey was always there to pick me up when i was down and offer words of encouragement. And to his family and friends, may your treasured memories bring solace during this time of loss. Coach will always be in our hearts, and will forever be missed.

I played water polo with Rey and have spent the last few days thinking of times and memories I have of him. When he was named most improved player at a National Jr. Team Camp in Colorado Springs, playing together on the East team at the US Olympic Festival team in St. Louis when we won the gold medal, playing cards in the athletes quarters between games there, hanging out at UOP when Rey was a senior and I was on my recruiting trip, the very first time I had In-N-Out Burger. All these memories stick in my mind and Rey will always be a part of thise memories. He was a great friend, a great guy, and he will be missed very much.

Rey was my high school water polo coach in California...he was one of the most influental coaches in my life. He was truly a great person and wanted his family to know how much he is cared for here. I would love for his family to contact me, so I can extend my gratitude and support for my "Coach."
