I'm so sorry to hear of Rex's passing. I went to high school with Rex, and considered him a friend. I remember Rex's laugh and sense of humor. He was a good man. Though I haven't seen him for 40 years, seeing his picture makes me smile. Please send his mother my condolences as well. I'm sure she will remember me. Craig Watson Park City, UT

Please Except my sincere sympathy on your loss in the passing of Rex. He and I were in the Class of 1970 at Emporia High School. My fondest memory of him was his huge smile and his howling laughter. I hope this can be the way you'll remember him too. A wonderful man.

Thank You

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.

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.

Our prayers are with you always.

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.

To the Williams family, I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Rex when I was a little girl growing up in Emporia Kansas. I played with his little sister Cathy. Please know that my prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. Rex will truly be missed by all.

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.
