I worked with June and Rey at Mack Trucks. They were both excellent employees and cohorts. Rey had an unmatchable sense of humor with his outlandish pranks, some conducted at work, parties, or get togethers. I miss our chat meetings at the local restaurant over cup of coffee. One day we will meet again. RIP. My condolences to the family.
