"I keep being asked, 'are you going to tell them?' but tell them what? It would be horrible news that they'd have to get their heads around. And it would confuse the hell out of Rex – he's got a shocking enough day coming.He says he plans plans to speak to wife and children after his death by recording video messages for them. He is determined to make the very most of every day he has left - and will make full use of modern technology.
