So many wonderful memories of the "Energizer Bunny" (So named by Jim Volks) will remain with us always. Camp ( and the world) will be forever changed by his passing. May your many memories and his wonderful spirit help you through this time of grieving. He will live forever in our hearts. As flowers grow and bloom (especially when tended by Rex) sharing their beauty, and then die, so our loved ones bring us joy and leave us with beautiful memories to warm our hearts.

Papa would always say here comes trouble when I would visit... People must have conjoured up stories... HaHa
I remember when Ibought a new car and went to show papa, I was so proud. Papa said its very nice but, are you going to clean it.. I told him it got dirty from the hour drive. He just laughed and hugged me.. He always joked with me..
I would love staying there and getting that hot cup of tea in the early early a.m. haha...
I will always think of you and smile.. You are an inspiration to me.. Im glad to have been able to hug,kiss,and tell you I loved you. I know you heard me and felt me.. I think you were telling me to get off you but, Papa I just wanted you to know how much you meant to me.. I might not have been there enough but, When I was all the time missed was always made up..
I will miss your voice, smile hugs, and jokes but, I have amental picture inside my head and heart...
love you Papa

I always enjoyed his smile, his stories and his way of making you feel better. He had a kind word for everybody and a work ethic that would put most people to shame. He took great pleasure and pride in his family. He gave me my first scotch and milk (a delicacy form his farm in England). I will miss him.

I remember Rexie as such a sweet sweet man. He was always like Rex Jr. said famous for the word WHATEVER. I picked it up from him and I now say it from time to time. Whenever I was in the kitchen at work talking about a problem whether it was work or family related he always gave me good advice. He even one time came in the next with a poem for me to read. I still have that poem. He told me to read it everyday I started my day. I was good for a while but I haven't so I need to go back and start reading it again. I will miss you Rexie and thanks for all the memories and the impressions that you left on me. As I always told you your family is very lucky to have you in their lives. God Bless.

Rex was one of the sweetest men I know. I loved seeing him mornings at work when he would come in to say hi.
My favorite memory of last year was sitting at my desk around Christmas time. He came slowly into my office with a little bag over his shoulder saying "HoHoHo, Santa's here" and handed me a beautifully wrapped box of chocolates.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He has been and will be greatly missed by all. I feel blessed to have known such a gentle soul.

My dearest Uncle Rex, Dad's only brother, I can't believe we have lost you forever. My family and I feel so privileged and grateful to have been the last close family members from 'over the pond' to have seen you in the summer of 2006 when as ever you and your family couldn't do enough for us.Of course Jeff and yourself had to put the world to rights over a glass of Malt Whiskey! I will always treasure the memories of our all too few visits to a loving, caring, selfless man who never failed to make me laugh and smile despite still calling me 'Sis' my childhood nickname! Rest in peace Uncle Rex, all my love Margaret

He is gone, but not forgotten
His memory lives on
Uncle Rex, you were a blessing
Who fulfilled our lives for so long.
Now our eyes are filled with sorrow
For without you is how we face tomorrow
Laughter is how I remember you best
Full of faith, sunshine, and happiness.
Uncle Rex, you are one of the greatest men I know. You have brought so much love and fun to our lives. There are a lot of memories that I have shared with and won’t forget. When I was living with Barbie on Culver Rd, I was alone, looked out the window and there were two guys sitting in a car outside our apartment. Like a fool, I call my mom who is 70 miles away, she tells me to call Uncle Rex, so I did. And, without a doubt, Uncle Rex was there in just a few short minutes to rescue the little baby. Then when I was living with you and Aunt Ada, there were the Saturday mornings at approximately 5am that I will never forget, when you would run that vacuum cleaner and just so happen to run into the bed, then you would tell me that I was wasting the day away lying there in that bed. Uncle Rex, you are loved and missed dearly.

Uncle Rex,
Much loved and a special uncle. I will miss your phone calls, “How you all doing over there?” We would go through the family & state of the world and of course the English obsession with the weather. So often I would hear how you had been shovelling snow – drifts meters high. I admired you for always wanting to help others. Last time we spoke you were talking about getting back to work. There must be an awful lot of people out there who will really miss you, I know there are plenty over here.
It was a privilege to have you as my uncle. Rest in peace.
Love, Sarah

Everyone’s Repairman – Everyone’s Friend - My Father
Everyone’s Repairman- The man that seemed to know everything when it came to fixing our broken down items. The man that would always be there to repair the dishwasher, washing machine, furnace, leaky faucet, or leaky roof. The man that would be there at any hour of the day to fix what was broke and then sit down with us and have a Manhattan or as he called it “a little touch”. The man that would look at us when we said what do I owe you and he would say “I’ll catch you next time”. The Repairman that will be remembered as the person that could work miracles with his hands. The man who tried to work miracles with his wisdom in the world saying nothing can be accomplished in this world without “The 3 C’s – Communication, Cooperation, and Consideration. The man that will be remembered as one of the most modest and generous persons that we have ever met.
Everyone’s Friend – The friend that would always be there to listen when you had a problem. The friend that sit down and have a drink with you and talk about the worlds affairs and not really give you his opinion as not to “Rock the Boat” as he would say. The friend that would be at your house to help you out with anything you need. The friend that would visit you when you were down or ill or not able to travel. The friend that would make sure that you were not lonely on a holiday or at least call you to wish you a Happy Holiday or Happy Birthday. The friend that everyone in this world wishes they had and all of us thank god that that we had the pleasure of knowing.
My Father – The man that would keep me at his side as a child to mold me into the person I am today. The man who would have me with him the days he would be plowing snow for the Treadway parking lot on the tractor in wintertime. The man that would ask me every morning when I didn’t have school if I wanted to go golfing with him at 4:30 in the morning before work. The man that would teach me that the phrase “What Ever” would do more good to “Keep the Peace” that to start an argument that would never be won. The man that will be dearly missed by many, many people and more missed by myself knowing that I would not be the person I am today if it wasn’t for that man I called “My Father”

Some called you Rex, some called you Rexie. Others called you grandpa or papa. I called you "daddy" I can't begin to tell you how much I miss you. What I can tell you and everyone else is how grateful and fortunate I am to have had such a wonderful father. you were alway kind, gentle and generous. I never heard you raise your voice or say an unkind word about anyone. (except maybe a few politicians)
Above all you were the most patient man I ever met. A recent good example was when you were trying to teach me to drive a standard. I must have thrown you into the dashboard at least a dozen times and all you could say was "it's ok honey, you'll get it, keep trying"
(I'm sure you applied alot of Bengay to your neck at night but you would never confess it)
And lastly I Have to say I was blessed to have a dad who adored and cherished his wife, my mother. Daddy you loved mom so much and I thank you for showing it. It was such a blessing to grow up in such a wonderful enviornment with two loving parents.
You are not here with me anymore but I will always love you, miss you, and cherish every memory you have left me.
