So sorry to hear of Rex's passing and your family's loss. I was a colleague of Rex's at both Capitol Indemnity and West Bend Mutual. He and I travelled together on several occasions for continuing education presentations. He was always a tough act to follow as he incorporated unusual sounds and good humor in his presentations which kept the audience attentive(presenting in the morning before lunch didn't hurt either as we are discussing insurance after all, yawn). One of my favorite memories of Rex was knowing he was in a fleet vehicle before me because the seat belt was clipped so it stayed loose(so as not to wrinkle his shirt) and the GPS was switched to a foreign language so it would alert him to a turn coming up and he wouldn't accidentally overlook it. May you rest in peace Rex and share lots of insurance knowledge and laughs with the angels above. I'll see you one day on the other side and we can sing to some Pink Floyd together. Mark Hoffmann

Rex was such a kind and caring person. I worked with him for several years and he taught me alot. His humor and knowledge of insurance and life was amazing! His talent in educating insurance agents and associates was first class. I know he loved his family very much. God bless him and his family.

My deepest condolences for your loss. Rex touched so many lives. His easy going attitude and helpful nature will be missed by so many. I loved his insight and expert knowledge of the industry he dedicated his professional life to. I had the pleasure of working with Rex for several years before his retirement and his absolute favorite topic to discuss was his children and grandchildren. He shared stories and pictures often. I will always remember him for being the best of the best. Rest in peace my friend

I am very sorry to learn of Rex’s passing. I worked with him for years and he was my go to guy when I needed help with an insurance problem. More than that I considered him a good friend. Enjoy your memories of him. Wes Uhlir

It’s been decades since my path crossed Rex’s and yet I remember long explanations to ensure my understanding of insurance concepts with some ASL. I haven’t forgotten any of it. His drive to make me ‘understand’ drives much of what I do today.
