Not sure what to say?

I knew Rey and Gimmer; although unfortunately we lost touch with one another the past few years! They were smart and good people; Rey walked to the tune of his own drum and he was not afraid to speak truth to power. They were assets to the Charlottesville-Albemarle community and will be missed.

A long time friend and broadcaster also......I miss our occasionnal chats over many years....God Bless you, colin

I had the privilege of meeting Rey only a couple of times through our shared love of computers. I regret not having found a way to spend more time with this remarkable man.

I always remember Rey as a kind and gentle soul and while we didn't see each other much in person we often talked by phone and shared our love of music. Especially when we were both at the Old WCHV in the 60's. Will miss you old friend.

We offer our sincere condolences to Rey´s daughters, and their families! We are grateful for his diligent caretaking of my lifelong friend and his wife Gimmer! May he rest in peace from his suffering of late, a s be remembered for his many accomplishments across his long life!

Rey was a good soul, he stood up for his beliefs and was truly a multifaceted human being. I lost touch with him but always in his later years but always admired his intellect and integrity.

May Gods promise found in John 6: 40, of the hope to see our loved ones again,comfort your heart and give you peace,strength and hope in the day ahead.
