Rex and I met in 1940 at Hamilton High School, Room 3B. Our paths crossed again when he joined the Claudelands Club. We played together many times and I would rather have him in my team than in the opposition. Good friend who will be missed at the club.
Best wishes, John

Rip Rex I will never forget the drinks we had together at Portal Crescent whenever I would be over from Aussie. So glad I called to see you in March while I was in NZ for my mums death. I enjoyed having a drink with you and our many discussions about Australia. Hope we meet again one day to continue our talks and a nice cold ale washed down with a good nip of whiskey. Rip Rex until we meet again.
