Dear family of Dr. Rea,
I didn't hear of his passing until today. I just finished writing him a Christmas card and thought I would google him...I would love to send the card to Cabot as I remember stories about him... Dr. Rea was my number one mentor as a person first and as an SLP second. I have loved that man since I first met him in 1980. My belated sympathy goes to all of you. Know that he lives on in me and so many others.
Respectfully,
Susan Steinkraus McDaniel class of 1984

Dear Rea family,
I am so saddened to learn of Jim's and Betty's deaths - having lost my dad in January, I know the grief. Aside from my dad, Jim was my first mentor. He gave me so many opportunities to spread my wings and learn! I often pass along to my students, advice that Jim gave me as I embarked on my doctoral dissertation (just a great big IS): 1) Pick a topic you are passionate about and will sustain you, 2) pick a topic that will make a contribution to the field, and 3) the best dissertation is a finished dissertation. Jim Rea will always have a special place in my heart. My sincere condolences.

To the Rea family - your father and I arrived on the Wooster campus the same year (1965), and I consider him responsible for the career that I have loved. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and I hope to make it to the service in Wooster. Dana Tench, Cleveland Heights, OH

Cabot and family,
It was with sadness that heard your announcement of your father's passing. However, remembering my brief encounter with him brought an immediate smile to my face. I met him a couple of summers ago at Lakeside, where he was looking for a local golf course. I "google it" for him, and printed the list. He was thrilled and through our conversation, he told me he was your father. He was so proud of you! I hope you have many wonderful memories to warm your heart.

Cabot,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. Always remember that the sadness and heartache you and your family feel now, reflects the love and laughter you shared during his life. May those memories comfort you, while knowing your dad is now in peace.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Your friend, Julia
