Rex will truly be missed. I miss his face at my table at Harmers everyday….his smile and his hat tipped back…Rex was my friend and I hope to see him again one day. He is in peace now and I will smile every time I think of him.

Rex was a good man and good friend. My son Jason and I always looked forward to visiting with him at coffee time in the morning. He was always talking about his family. They were all very dear to his heart. He had a deep devotion to all of them. May the hearts of his family be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times as they celebrate a life well lived.
