I would like to offer my condolences on Rex’s passing and on behalf of the Eustace family of Sugarloaf and aunt Ina Heale living at St. Pat’s Mercy Home in St. John’s. In my visits to aunt Ina she often mentions stories about Rex and his brothers as boys and their escapades at their dads (uncle Art) summer residence at Sugarloaf. I fondly remember making mud pies with Rex’s daughter’s Cathy and Debbie on the bank next to the old farm house as a lad and I hope you both are well.
