I first met Rex at Hartvigsen school where he worked along side my wife in caring for those special souls. He was so genuine and fun to be around that one could not instantly like him. When I found out he wanted to make a change in employment, I had the privilege of hiring Rex into the HVAC industry to work in the parts and warehouse departments at Carrier Intermountain. He was an instant hit with our customers and a natural at giving them his best advice and help. There were many customers who would say, "I'll just wait until Rex can help me." He was one of the best customer service examples that I had ever encountered. As he moved to other positions and companies, many followed him, myself included, because of his unique ability to be their friend.
I will always cherish and remember his great sense of humor. If I asked him some silly question, that he found the answer to be quite obvious, he would give me that "Rex Look" that told me to just think about it and try again.
I look forward to meeting my friend and associate in the future where we can recall and laugh about the good times we had.
Your forever friend, Rulon Swensen
