It is a big loss for all of the many fans of Rex Trailer to learn that he has today passed away at 84. Rex Trailer hosted Bomtown, a show that provided good clean wholesome entertainment for kids, like me, back just a “few years”. I had never met Mr. Tailer, but he visited Methuen to participate in a dedication of a monument that celebrated the role of the horse in early fire prevention, and he was every bit of the gentleman that we had all come to know from the show. Rest in Peace Rex Trailer!
