Super UK Elvis Fan Rex Martin has been found dead at his home in Blackpool. Rex was responsible for producing the Elvis News Service Bulletins during the late 60's and 70's. Rex was a true gent in every sense of the word and a loyal fan who saw many Elvis Concerts and filmed / recorded quite a few. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
