Because this holiday season just seems to be chock full of bad news, word comes from Michigan about Rex "Count De Boxcar" Young...
Pat,
Rex fell down his stairs, what looked like a broken nose.. has turned into something far more serious. He is not expected to recover. Something far worse happened when he fell, he continued to get worse and worse. Scott's dad went to see him in the hospital, he is not responsive, not able to speak, and I will try to find out more and let you know.
All my tries to connect with him were unsuccessful, I am so sick about this
Cathy
For those of you who don't know, Rex was longtime fixture on the Shrine circuit and very prolific producing clown. In fact, he was just about the last of the professional producing clowns on the Shrine dates as he retired at about the time that the Shrines and the producers stopped using pros and handed the chores over to the Shrine Clowns and their hysterical "skits".
Please keep Rex in your thoughts and prayers this holiday season.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Rex Passed away yesterday.
You can bet where ever he is, he's sitting at the table of the best restaurant in town, telling the waitress he is the Chief of the local Volunteer Fire Dept. so she should bring his order as fast as possible so he can get back to the firehouse in case of a fire.
Rex, knowing you made it worth being here.
A great circus clown and producing clown. Wonderful sense of humour. Enjoyed life and people and was a "good Guy" all the way.
