I met Rex when I worked at the credit union. He always had a big smile for me and we would laugh together over whatever was going on that day. I know you will miss him, but I am glad you will have many happy memories to treasure.

Rex and I would trade jokes at work. I will always remember his big smile and big laugh. After I retired I reconnected with him on Face Book. I know he will be missed by many myself included. I was saddened to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family.
