Words and sentiments can scarcely contain the full and storied life that Joseph “Buddy” Lex led from his birth on February 23rd, 1926, until his passing on Monday June 10th, 2024 at the enviable age of 98. High School & College Football Star, World War II Veteran, William and Mary graduate, Virginia Sports Hall of Fame Inductee, Stock Broker, Traveling Checkwriter Salesman, & FBI agent were just some of the hats Buddy wore and lives he lived in his near-century long story. In its last chapter this beloved patriarch departed peacefully in the comfort of his Norfolk home and in the company of his two surviving children and son in law. In doing so, Buddy leaves behind not only a legion of loved ones but a life and a legacy to be cherished and celebrated.
