Some comments from his former students:

“Rem built good kids and was a great guy.”

“Remy was a name in every household… most caring, supportive and best cheerleader.”

“Taught me that killer windmill serve.”

“My favorite Teacher and favorite class PE!! Thanks REM for all the memories. Rest Easy Coach!”

“He was a great guy and I learned a lot from him back in the days.”

“Si Yu’us Ma’åse for everything Rem.”

“Another kind soul taken too early.”

“Was always super cool and good to the kids. A genuinely great man.”

Funeral arrangements are set for February 11.

Rest in Peace Rem!
