Virgil Hovar wrote a sympathy message

“Sorry to hear of Rex's passing. It has been a few years since we were able to visit but have been thinking of him recently. Rex meant a lot to our family and he would try to stop to visit mom & dad and my sister, Patricia, whenever he was driving through our area. It was always a bright spot for them. Rex was best man at my wedding with Rebecca 49 years ago. We had talked about trying to meet up again in the Galena area but never did set it up. Prayers and condolences, Virgil Hovar”
