I remember how much much Mrs. Brooks (Coleen) loved Rex. He inspired Mrs. Brooks which, in part, is why she was such a prolific and expert writer.

I didn't know Uncle Rex well, but every interaction with him was warm and kind. He was clearly a man of great integrity and compassion. I know my Mom will miss him dearly. My best and warmest regards to Claudia.
