We are so sad to lose a friend like Rex. He was a coworker, golf buddy & loved to go out & eat with Rex& Anne. We will miss him so much but he is in heaven with his son & we will see him again one day.

I met Rex at the Downtown Post Office in the '70's. Rex was the sweetest man I can ever remember meeting. Thank you Rex, for just always being yourself. See you next time in the presence of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
