I had the pleasure of knowing Rex for over 38 years. We were co-workers at 3M and he reported to me for a period of time. We were also true friends. I share the same memories that many who knew Rex have. His engaging smile and his sense of humor. If I ever had a question about something vehicle related, I would call Rex – he had more information that Popular Mechanics ! He will be missed and our deepest sympathy goes to Joann and family.
JoAnn, I am so, so sorry to hear of Rex passing. Today I saw a message on FB from Maryanne notifying me. You two have been together for a long time and I am sure it will be hard making this transition. You have a lot of friends to help you through it and I am one of them even though I don’t see you as often as I would like. Rex was a dear friend to me when I needed a friend the most. Love to you,
So sorry for your loss Joann. We are praying for God to give you strength and comfort during this difficult time. We’ll miss Rex, we made a lot of childhood memories growing up. He was always so upbeat and full of energy. And despite us being separated for many years, he always remained a dear friend. So glad we were able to reconnect these last few years. I’ll never forget him.
Joann This is such sorrowful news. I pray that God gives you comfort and that you treasure always the wonderful memories you made together
I am so sorry to hear of Rex’s passing. One of the good guys for sure. We were fellow 3M er’s. Blessings to you and your family Joann.
We were so very sorry to hear of Rex’s passing. You have many memories and photos to remember the travels with him. You have so many good friends and family members to help you through this. Call on them when you need someone. Love to you, dear one. Wilfred and Phyllis Smithson
Rex started out as a neighbor and quickly become a dear friend. His smile was ever present and he always had time for our boys when they were in town for visits. Always there when needed, now an Angel. We will miss you . Love Feed and Charlotte
Rex was my friend for close to sixty years; we were soldiers together and college roommates. He was a steadfast friend, great fun, and enjoyed life to the fullest. His optimism and his energy was boundless.
Joann, so sorry for your loss. We are sure the wonderful memories will be of great comfort to you. Our prayers to you. Jim & Cheryl Broderick
