Rex Browning is a people person, a man respected for his high character.
Browning’s love of family has been evident throughout his life. He included them in his business endeavors. He was an Ottawa Main Street icon for more than 60 years before retiring this past Saturday.
Rex’s Barber Shop withstood the test of time. Browning opened the shop in 1960.
Browning semi-retired a few years ago, handing the reigns of the “family shop” to his daughter, Suzanne. Browning, 81, hung up the clippers for good after a long career.
“It was never a job,” Browning said. “It was a fun life. I enjoy being around people. It is a good place to be (on Main Street).”
