Facebook Twitter GoogleTo all of Rex’s family. I grew up next to the Robb family. I had many good memories playing with Rex, Candy, Bobby and all of the neighborhood kids. I would go with Sonia and my mom to take Rex to school, had some good times on those trips. Rex always had a smile and could make you laugh. He was a family man and showed the love he had for his family. All my love to you and prayers for God’s comfort to all.
