Remembering Rex as a special friend who always had a smile on his face and a positive attitude in all that he did. He had a big heart and enjoyed life to the fullest. We will always cherish the friendship and good times we had. He may be gone, but never forgotten. God Bless you my friend.

I remember the day I met John. It was about 1986 in Cincinnati. Our families shared so many memories as his house was just behind ours. We immediately knew we were very much like Brothers. So many laughs, it´s impossible to describe. I Love you Johnny and will always miss you my dear Friend. Joey Barnett

Playing golf with John was always enjoyable. He was always funny and never had a negative comment about anything or anyone. A true gentleman.

John was a lover of life and his upbeat personality was a joy to share. The memories we shared as firends will live in our hearts and minds always.
I think "Cheers" fits!

Rex was an integral part of our golfing group who always had a smile and an encouraging word. His sense of humor kept things loose on the course and he is already missed by all whose lives he touched. RIP Rex.

Jo, so sorry to hear of the loss of John. We worked together at Cintas for many years. John was such an honorable man and very respected with the Cintas family. John just texted me a few weeks ago but never mentioned his health challenges. My sincere condolences to you and the family.
