So sorry for your loss. I knew Rex from working at DuPont. He was a nice guy. Always a good attitude. Mrs. Phillips, years ago I had a garage sale and you bought my son's bunk beds which he had outgrown. You used my phone to call your husband to see if it was okay to buy them. We got to talking and you said he worked at DuPont and his name was Rex Phillips. What a small world as I was working as a steno in the same area as Rex at that time. So I am saddened to hear of his passing and wish you and the family comfort and peace at this sad time. Peggy Miller Smallwood
