He had a heart of gold, was kind, generous, and enjoyed helping his family and friends. Rex never met a stranger and had a story for everything and with that, came the most amazing advice. But above all, he was a loving father and wanted nothing more than to see his children happy, successful, and respected. He is survived by his loving Mother Lois Bennett; Sister Sandra Godwin; Brother Buster Bennett; His children, Paul Bennett; Deborah Bennett; Renee Bennett; And numerous Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren that he loved. He was met in Heaven by his Father Lester Bennett; his Sister Joyce LaPinto; and his Great Granddaughter Isabella Bennett.
