We loved rex and knew him 10 years. He was a remarkable person and never ceased to amaze us! We could ask him just about anything and he would either know the answer or know where to find it. His spontaneous quips kept us in stitches and we always looked forward to seeing him. He wasn't afraid to try something new and was fascinated with our laptop computer and smart phone. We enjoyed eating at the stardust diner with rex and his wife carol, one of his favorite restaurants. We'll miss him a lot and will always remember what he said when we remarked that God is good.....he said "all the time"!
