Rex and I used to walk to his house to have lunch every once in a while from school. He lived just five minutes from staunton high school. We both shared a love of music and played the organ at his house. He taught me the song, proud mary by creedence, clearwater band. Rex was three years younger than I was but he was very smart and very talented. Conversations with him later in life, he really enjoyed what he did. Rex you will be missed. With much love and respect mary (neuenschwander) fouts Staunton class of 72
