Dad, you have always been such a big part of my life and have influenced me in so many ways. There wasn't a day that went by that I did not talk to you either in person or on the phone. It really didn't matter what we talked about and was often the weather or just the events of our days, I just knew when I picked up the phone, I would always hear your greeting "Sissy".
You passed on your love of the outdoors and especially gardening. You always had such an interest in how my (your) plants were doing and giving me direction when they didn't appear to be blossoming.
You cannot begin to know just how much I miss you and your smiling face. You always saw the best in people and never gave up on anyone. You helped so many people over the years and never ever wanted anything in return. It just gave you joy to be able to help others.
You truly were a selfless individual and I hope that I can be half the person that you were Dad.
I have a lot of sorrow right now as the wounds are fresh, but I know in time I will be able to think of you without feeling sad and smile when all the great memories came in my mind that I have of you.
You were one of kind Dad. I love you and miss you and know that you are in a far better place than this world and for that I am thankful.
Always and forever "Sissy".
Rose and I extend our condolences to Rona, Rick, Shelly and their families.
please accept our deepest condolences
Reg, I was blessed to have you in my life.
The acceptance, patience and quiet guidance you gifted me with helped me get through those many difficult years a young guy goes through.
Thank you for sharing your space with me, sharing possibly the biggest adventure of my life (which I literally may not have survived without you!), entrusting me to help out (though I twisted off the universal joint bolt), and sharing many meals with me (yes, I like my onions translucent too!)
It was unfortunate that the current of life moved us to be physically distant, but you always made me feel of value when we got to share time together!
I'll miss you, but look forward to seeing you in heaven, where I'm certain you are being held in the arms and light of God's love.
Rest in peace.
So many cherished memories of growing up across the street from Reg and family. He was always a kind man and our families enjoyed many special times together. Holding Rona, Rick and Shelly and their families in my heart and prayers through these difficult days.
