My heartfelt condolences to the family. I met Reggie in 1977 at SUPHIPNN. He was that father figure for me and we became great friends. He and "Lil Bit" raised me.  He will be sorely missed.  My heart breaks yet I know he is with TheLird.

Reggie was such a friend to anyone he met, he will be missed at Holy Angels, I had the pleasure of being his and your mom's friend.  You didn't mention in obit that he and your mom sang in the choir with me.  I remember the song Feed My Sheep and your dad hated that song for some reason!!!  I would laugh and say come on Reggie let's sing it, such memories!  I loved both of your parents/grandparents and I know they are happy together with God.
