Default Rax bassett and Savoy Electronics

Does anyone in South Florida know what happened to Rex Bassett and or Savoy
Electronics of Ft. Lauderdale?

Rex was making big antennas before WW II plus had a line of big (mainly
commercial) transmitters).

In the 1950's Rex did some pioneer work on mobile antenna coils filled with
helium. Later he sold Bassett
80 to 10 antennas (coils filled Helium) thru Savoy Electronics. He wrote
for CQ and advertised in CQ and QST.

I suspect Rex has long since passed away but can someone clue me in on his
history?
