Dear Hoover Family and Loved ones, I am a 1967 Slidell High School graduating classmate of Rex's. I am so very happy that I got to see him again and chat for a while at our 50th Class Reunion recently. We talked and laughed and remembered some friends from school -- our favorite teachers-- and memories of fun times-- at Slidell High, and we talked about how unbelievable it was that 50 years had gone by so fast. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. Rex was always the nicest young man...
