Welcome Rex Ekwall!

Last week Marlene Sullivan introduced us to new member Rex Ekwall. Rex became semi-retired in March when he sold Rite Way Oil and Gas and his convenience store chain known as Shell/SpeeDee Mart after 50 years in business. Rex still maintains his office on 84th St. and has some commercial property and farms that he manages.

Rex is a UNL graduate and a former Husker basketball player. He holds the scoring and rebounding records and is in the Hall of Fame there. He is married to Loretta and they have two children and six grandchildren.

Rex was a volunteer pilot for Angel Flight for many years providing transportation for low-income patients. In his free time, Rex enjoys sports events and travel. Welcome, Rex!
