I grew up around Fox and Dianne. My dad was George Trammell, and my mom Linda. Spent many nights and weekends listening to him and my daddy play music and sing, along with Gene and Sharon Boyd, Cooter and Geneva, Jerry on drums, and so many others. He loved me like I was his own. He was a wonderful man and is greatly missed! Love Possum Head (Virginia Trammell-Webster).

I live across the lake from Mr. Fox. He always took care of any problems with the lake immediately upon my request. If I was walking in the neighborhood & he would drive by, he'd stop and chat. I'm deeply sorry for your loss (and ours).

Rex was one of the nicest gentlemen i ever met. His gentle wisdom imparted in AA meetings stays with me and i thank God he was a member who "walked the walk and talked the talk". For any of us in recovery, his loss is immeasurable and all the help he gave so many will always live on. Thanks Rex for all you did for all of us, and save me a seat up there between you and Murphy!

Dianne and family,
We will miss my brother in music, we had so many fun times, both at our "studio" living room at his house,and the gigs that we played. I will never ever part with the tapes and CD's that we made, hearing Rex'es deep voice singing and playing will always be with us. A true and faithful friend. One of the FOX BOYS, Jerry and his wife Bette.
