Rex Charles Stinchcomb Jr. -- beloved husband, father and grandfather -- passed away January 8, 2013 following a sudden, week-long bout of heart trouble. 

He is survived by Frances Helen Stinchcomb, his wife of 63 years. Together they lived a rich life few ever get to enjoy -- a love affair that included quiet times together, raucous family celebrations (with grandchildren everywhere), thousands of golf rounds, numerous travels around the USA in their truck and trailer and many ocean voyages (including Alaska, Mexico, Hawaii, and South and Central America) with loved ones.

His nine children include Steven, David, Terri, Ann, Catherine, Michael, Susan, Dennis and Jeff. 

He also leaves 21 grandchildren Jennifer, Jessica, Justine, Jillian, Jason, Erica, Kristyn, Sarah, Laura, Janeen, Paul, Erin, Alyse, Kera, Katie, Dana, Alexandra, Zac, Casey, Emma and Lillian. Astonishingly, Dad also leaves eight great-grandchildren -- Declan, Rory, Jacob, Isaac, Nathanial, Christian, Matthew and McKenzie.

He is also survived by his brother Jim and Jim's wife Leni, of Junction City, Oregon.

Until last week, Dad had lived in relatively good health. In the days and hours before his passing, our family came together to be with him and share our love and memories and shower him with affection. (We broke every hugging / kissing record ever set.)
