Reggie was a truly wonderful and loving person. He always wore a nice tie and shirt even when he was not feeling too good. I spoke to him quite often about his life and his family. He was the sunshine of the Golden Living Nursing Home!! He loved bananas, going to breakfast with his daughter, Elaine, and talking to everyone. He will be missed by all!
Elaine and Loraine,
Words can’t express how saddened I am by your loss.Uncle Reggie was a remarkable person. It’s so hard to fathom that all nine of the siblings are gone now.
We all have been so very fortunate to have had such a loving and caring family. Each and everyone and their spouses will never, ever be forgotten.
We certainly have all been so very blessed. God bless each and everyone of us who remain of a very wonderful family. My love and sympathies to you all.
