Gwen and family,
I am so sorry to hear about Rex’s passing. My children, Erica and Christopher, remembered him as well. We all said he had a great personality and could be so funny! He was a good man, and I pray your cherished memories will bring you comfort in the difficult days ahead. We know he is at peace with his heavenly father. Please know I will keep you in my prayers,
Oh my where do. I start. Rex and I worked on the line crew for many years at Centel. Rex and Terry Edwards and I hunted and fished and laughed and cut up for many years at the telephone company. He will be missed. He was a great guy.
Gwen Rex was so friendly and had a great personality. Our sympathy to you and the family
Thank you, Gail. He was an awesome person. He always said that God had a purpose for him.
I am so sorry for your loss. I saw you at the oncologists and we both recognized each other but couldn’t remember where we had seen each other. I remember now! I worked at Blondeez’s Resturant running the cash register. That’s where I saw you and Rex. Thinking and praying for you and your family. Tootsie
Thank you for your kind words. He really enjoyed the food and people. You will be in my prayers
Just a great guy, worked with him on the line crew at the phone company, mid 1970.
It’s a joy to know he’s gout a new body now.
In Jesus name Amen
