Hate to hear that. Rex was a great guy before getting out of hobby. He will be missed.


Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

Rest in Peace, Rex! Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Nita and the rest of his family and many friends.

Rex was a regular at swap meets and auctions, building a fantastic petroliana collection. He was a fun guy to talk with and eat pie with.

Rex was a healthcare warrior. He was willing to endure new and radical procedures. His courage and medical experiences probably helped to save the lives of others as the doctors learned from Rex's treatment.

Great guy. Was first person to ever buy from me at my first gas show. I'll never forget that moment he said he'd take it and whipped out a stack of money to pay. Will truly be missed. R.I.P. Rex

Always enjoyed Rex's posts, from one fellow pie lover to another

Been along time since he's been on...

RIP

This breaks my Heart. Rex was awesome and a wonderful Human. When I was a moderator here many years ago.. Jim flew me out to Peotone to stay with Bob for the show. Thats where i met Rex in person. We had been friends because of this website and it was great to meet him in person...we collected the same thing and had the same views on animal cruelty and the love of pie and dogs. Rest in peace my friend. My thoughts and prayers are with Nita and the Family and friends. I love you Rex and will see you when I cross over.

That trip i met a lot of people in person that I will always cherish. In the grand scheme of things..life is short..make the best of everyday and tell people you love them.
