RIP Uncle Rex💖
Rex was my next door neighbor. He was a kind and caring neighbor and always available to chat or lend a helping hand. There were times I would wake up after a big snow storm to the sound of his snow blower clearing my driveway. That was Rex. He always wanted to help out. I feel blessed to have had Rex as a neighbor for so many years. I will miss him. I send my regards to his dear family and all of those that loved him. Rest in peace Rex💞🙏
