Rex,

You are a role model for all of us trying to be the best husband, father, and friend that we can be. You're not too bad on the grill or with a fishing pole either. I'm going to miss adding to the many visits I've had with you over the years, but I'll still have the wonderful memories that were created. Cheers to you Rex, for a life well done.

Love and miss you,

Shawn
