Charles “Carl” Rex age 50 of Wayne, NJ passed away peacefully in his home while receiving the loving care of his family on Saturday February 9, 2013 after a long fought battle with COPD for many years.
Charlie was born in New York City and was raised in Fort Lee, then moving to Leonia later in his childhood where he would graduate from Leonia High School. After his high school graduation, he worked with his father in the Re-Insurance industry for a couple of years. Charlie then relocated to Tampa, Florida where he went to work as a controller for a British Concrete company, then, eventually started his own business, Affordable Home Repair in Leonia. During this time he also continued with his education at various colleges over the years. The bulk of Charlie’s knowledge was acquired on his own, teaching himself.
It was during his time in Florida in 1991 where he met his wife Lynn Rex. After Charlie and Lynn were married, they moved to NJ where they raised their son Chaz. Charlie and Lynn cherished 17 years of marriage.
Charlie’s family remembers him as having a MacGyver type quality, he could fix just about anything. He would read medical encyclopedias front to back and worked hand in hand with his doctor, developing new devices and medical formulas to combat his own illness. His family actually recalls Charlie being a “self-proclaimed doctor”. He was quite an athlete in his high school days, excelling in track and field. Charlie had an extraordinary creative quality; he was always pondering new inventions and new ways to do things. Charlie loved to help people, was quick witted, strong willed and extremely intelligent. He will be sincerely missed by his family and friends alike.
Charlie is survived by his son Charles “Chaz” Rex and his wife Daisy of Philadelphia, his son Clint Davis also of Philadelphia; his ex-wife Lynn Rex of Sanford, NC; his loving mother Doris Rex Belschner of Wayne; his step-mother Patricia Rex of Livingston Manor, NY; his sister Dale Saltiel and her husband Ron of Wayne; his brother Mark and his wife Cherry of Oldsmar, FL; his sister Elisabeth Minkoff and her husband Scott of Potomac, MD; his brother Cliffy Belschner of CA; his brother Bruce Belschner and his wife Kathi of Roselle Park, NJ; his sister Sue Vierling and her husband Don of Oradell; and his only grand-daughter Savannah Rex.
