“Basically, Rex was a very stubborn, very opinionated man, and unfortunately for Rex one of the things he was very, very vocal on, and if you search Facebook you can find this ...but he actually said, ‘I don’t know why everyone’s pandering to this pandemic, what pandemic?’
“It never ceased to amaze me that at 79, 80 years old you would never have picked him for being that age.
“He certainly wasn’t a frail old man, he was as active as the day was long.”
“He basically said to me, ‘I’ve got an immune system, have you never heard of one of those?’”
