was honorably discharged after completing his service. Rey was proud to be a veteran.

Rey retired in December 2023 from Resort Condominiums Intl. (RCI), where he worked for 30
years as a customer service specialist. Prior to this position he had a variety of work experiences
- steelworker, paralegal assistant, Arthur Murray dance instructor, log cabin building, carpenter,
construction worker, and restaurant employee. He moved from Colorado to Indianapolis in 1994
and started his long career at RCI. He was an avid sports fan; he favored the Chicago Bears, the
Indianapolis Colts, and professional baseball. Rey's hobbies included fishing, golf, and historical
interest on the Civil War and WWII Pacific Theater. Rey truly enjoyed being a dad and he was
very proud of his two children. He coached little league baseball for his son's team and rooted for
his daughter's softball games. He attended all school events involving his children. Family
vacations were memory makers for his children. Rey always had pets, and Leila, his beloved dog,
would visit him at the Altenheim Senior Living facility.
