Star of Boomtown 1956-1974 WBZ tv series here in the Boston area, at age 84. I grew up not only watching, I had a sheriffs badge from the show,and met Rex again in Waltham, Ma., as he had a studio there.

A sad day indeed. I not only watched this show every saturday morning, I was also on the show back in 1967! It was a fun show. I feel as though my chidhood is slowly disappearing. R.I.P. Rex
