Linda and family, I was so sorry to learn of Rex's passing. He had an obvious passion for diving and I loved to hear him talk about his experiences. He had an uncommon wit and sense of humor that I appreciated. Please accept my most heartfelt sympathies for your loss and know that my thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

I am a good friend of the family. My brother Michael Slay and Rex were big buddies growing up in Harrison. Myself closer to Rexs' mother Mary. I did not know Rex later in life but wanted to take this opportunity to celebrate his going home and wish Mary all of the peace that comes in knowing that Rex is now where we all pray to be at the end of this journey. God Bless You Mary!
