I can't imagine the courage he had to do that, and the strength he showed while doing it is something rarely seen. When I tried to show my sympathy to Terry, all I could mutter was, "I'm sorry" and "you take care of yourself". I just didn't know what to say to her to let her know how special Rex was...I'm better at writing my emotions than I am at speaking them, for sure. I did include a letter with the cards I gave to her and to Eric & Lisa, so hopefully that will suffice.

    It's just not gonna be the same without Rex. You often hear the phrase "fill the void" in a situation like this, but I believe that there's no way to do so in Rex's case. Besides, I don't want to fill the void; I want to keep it there as a reminder of a great friend I was fortunate enough to have during my life. To simply 'fill the void' would be to act as if nothing special had happened, IMHO.
    Eric's eulogy about "Pops" was moving & straight from the heart. It summed up all the good things that we all knew, loved & admired about Rex. He had touched a lot of people & it shows with what was expressed here in the forum & those who attended the service. His absence will be felt for a while, but take comfort that a part of him is living amongst each of us that every time we have a moment to reflect on a segment of time we had with Rex in the past that, rest assured, it will always be an enjoyable reflection of the times we shared with him. He set THE standard of how a member of a car club should represent to the general public in car shows all that is the Marauder. I had arrived home around 9:30 p.m. from the service & worth the total of 6+ hours round trip to pay my respects to Rex & his family.

    Yes--The renewal posting from Bluerauder--thanks--got me of course to completely re-read each post here ---wow again---what more can be said---and yes there have been many many times past two years where he has been front stage in my mind/memory --from all kind of occurrences that occurred in front of me --then again some of which I created myself---

    Like the time we found ourselves at Beer pub by the speedway here and there special --wait for it--yep---beer--but not just any beer---unbelievable 110 oz. draft beer glass--or more a long tube----and of course he says to me --"you know we gotta try that"--so you know we did---split the cost --believe it was $24 and payable by CC before you got it--which was really different back then--and believe me it was not as easy as it may seem---that beer just seem a bit more toxic --LOL----yep memories--we all have them ---this has been one!
