It saddened me to hear about the loss of my good friend and classmate Rex. When we were going to Emporia High we became even better friends, always laughing and joking around, and serious moments too. May the Lord ease your pain in your time of sorrow. Joe Silva Joe Silva03/04/2011 03:38:59 PM

My sympathy to the Williams family. I grew up in Emporia just across the alley from the Williams Family. What a wonderful family. I have very fond memories of the old neighborhood and all the good people who lived there. I will be thinking of you all during this difficult time.

I know that there is a special spot in heaven that has a very deserving soul today. I, also, was part of the Emporia class that graduated with Rex. I am sad that we didn't have the opportunity to reconnect, but have wonderful memories and am holding his family in my prayers.

I was so sorry to hear of Rex's passing. We grew up in the same neighborhood and went to the same school from kindergarten through high school. Rex did not know a stranger. He was always so respectful of everyone. He came from a wonderful family. I am praying for his family as they adjust their lives to the absence of a very dear man.
