I'm a long lost cousin, but I could never forget how good Rex and the whole family was to me as a child. He taught me to climb trees, and then had to teach me to climb down .... haha. I remember the snow sledding, playing in the creek, wrapping pears in the cellar, grace at the dinner table, and how the whole family was so good to me. Some of my best childhood memories. Thank you for that. Very saddened to hear the news. My thoughts and prayers to the family.
