My heart breaks for a life gone too soon Rex. You were an amazing photographer, jokester, full of life and admirer of God’s manifest environment, animals and birds. I will especially miss your humour and candour, dear step-brother. Be at peace with your lovely bride Joanne now. God bless and keep you always Rex.
