Rex Trailer, host of “Boomtown,” a Western-themed children’s TV show that beguiled generations of New England children, has died, according to an announcement posted on his website.
“Rex Trailer left this earth peacefully last night surrounded in love and song by his family. Rex had been in Florida for the holidays when he became ill into the New Year. While everyone’s prayers and support have been of great comfort to Rex, he decided it was time to go home. Rex and family thank all of you and love you,” said the announcement, which was dated today.

I loved this on Sunday mornings, since it was one of the few things on.
Will miss you Rex!
RIP Rex Trailer.
Rex was a colleague when I taught at Emerson back in the day. One of the truly nicest guys you ever wanted to work with. He was dedicated to his students and really cared about them.
Lets's hope for an obit that does him, and his affect on generations of bostonians, justice.
