Rex Endres, who has hosted our Rotary meetings at his Rex’s Innkeeper, passed away July 5 of a heart attack. The club took the July 8 meeting to fondly remember him as a mentor and a friend. The night prior, hundreds in the community gathered with his family and close friends at a candlelight vigil at Rex’s, as well. Rex will definitely missed.
