Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 155 her very much. Saying anything bad about that woman, even as a joke, was tantamount to suicide. Rex would go berserk. When he went berserk, someone went to a hospital. Rex worked at Fisher Body, moving bumpers around. No joke. He‟d lift an entire car bumper and put it on a frame. Eight, ten hours in a row, Rex would hoist those damned things and not leave the job worn out. His strength was incredible. However, Rex wasn‟t the sharpest knife in the drawer. He wasn‟t retarded, but it was a near miss. A photo finish, so to speak. He could read at about a third grade level. I‟m not sure I ever heard him use a word with more than two syllables, and I doubt he‟d‟ve known what it meant if he used one. Rex was just very sweet and lovable. To pretty much anybody. One of his friends was a crippled kid named Danny. He‟d suffered from polio, one of the last to be so afflicted before the vaccine. His right leg was badly deformed and, of course, he walked funny. I think Danny was a year behind me in school, and he went to Eastern. One night, Rex found out some guys beat Danny up and took all his money. Four big seniors from Eastern. Rex never said a word. He got in his car, a 1963 dark green Plymouth two-door with “three on the tree”, and drove to the house where these kids were at the time. There were no adults present, just those four boys. Maybe the parents were at work, or out drinking. Who knows? Rex parked in front of that house and walked up to the door. He didn‟t kick it by the knob, which would slam the door open against a wall. Oh, no. Not Rex. Not when he‟s pissed. He kicked the other side of the door! Where the hinges are located! The whole damned thing crashed flat on the floor! Leviticus, Limited 33-0505963
Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 156 He proceeded to beat the living shit out of all four, so bad they were all taken by ambulance to a hospital. Then he walked back to his car and drove away. When these kids were questioned, since they knew Rex wouldn‟t get a life sentence even if he was convicted, meaning he‟d be back, they had no idea who attacked them. All they knew was it had to be at least five, maybe six guys they‟d never seen before. Those four never hurt Danny again. Neither did anyone else. It wasn‟t worth it. Not when Rex would find out and come seeking vengeance. There was another occasion Rex was a star. I tell this secondhand, as I wasn‟t there. I understand Rex was in Dave Chouinard‟s ‟55 Ford, along with Dan and a unique guy named Bill Palmer, and maybe one other kid. I believe Bill, who lived near Rex, was the one who introduced him to our group. As I understand, they were driving north on Logan Street. One car passed another. The other car was full of guys. Someone did something truly unforgivable. Maybe scratched his nose, who can tell? When teenage boys are in pack mode and see anyone do anything, it can very easily be interpreted as an offense. The standard practice at that point is to start a fight. One group will beat the livin‟, screamin‟ shit out of the other. Kind of an SOP deal. Someone offended someone. <strong>Word</strong>s were exchanged. Both cars pulled to the side of the road. Kids started piling out. A severe ass kicking awaited someone, for damned sure. The car parked in front had six guys. Our guys numbered only five, but they had Rex. He allegedly evened the odds a bit. Oops! Our guys began to rethink matters when the passenger got out of the car in front. His name was Dave Porter. Leviticus, Limited 33-0505963
