Dear Judy and family, Rex was one of my mentors when I came to the Utilities. He was a major influence in my career. He directed (pushed) me down a path I am so grateful for. I will always remember him and his helpful and giving nature. He was always there when I had a problem or needed advice. We shared many stories which I am recounting as I write this. We had ups and downs, but all I can remember are the good times. I'm glad for that. Judy, Peg and I enjoyed the time we spent with you and felt very comfortable. Both of you were so willing to help. May God bless you and your family

Dear Judy,
It's been a long time since we've talked, but I'll always remember Rex's warmth, friendliness, and kindness to all. Since Rex and I share the exact same birth day and birth year, I think of him every May 10 and will continue to. May peace and comfort be your companion.
