Dr Rexford Hiram Stearns

The Gerth family has such fond memories of Rex Stearns. He was a great friend to our parents Anita & Don. I remember his calm voice as he worked on my mouth to straighten out the smile.... the countless trips he took with my Dad.... and telling me how he lost weight so easily avoiding sugar! Great guy~ my sincere condolences to the family.

Dear Pat - Mike and I were just talking the other day of the nice time we had with you and Rex. He was a very nice man and both of us liked him so much. Our deepest condolences to you and your family. Best Regards, Mike and Sandy DePeaux

I graduated OHS in 1961. I was the only Dempsey sibling that did NOT have braces. At least one of my brothers, there were seven, delighted in chewing caramels before his visit. Some years after I left...

In loving memory of a wonderful person. The Town of Oshkosh losses such a valuable resident. We will always appreciate his gift. I will gladly be sending a donation to the Boys & Girls Club on his behalf
