I am a chess player who knew Rex a bit back in the 1970s and 1980s, as my late father Jack was friends with him. I never had the pleasure of playing him, but my father played him a number of times in the period of the mid 1950s through the early 1980s and had nothing but respect and admiration for his ability and high level of sportsmanship.
My best wishes and sympathy to his family at this difficult time.
