To All The Reaves Family,

My heart is with you as you say goodbye to your Dad & grandad today. I have great memories of him on Springview Lane and all the visits to your house.
I LOVED his humor too - he could always make me laugh with some quip or another.
Sending you much love and heartfelt condolences.
Love,
Ceil

I just wanted to let you know how lucky you were to have such a wonderful father/grandfather. He was actually my adopted grandfather/boyfriend-->he had so many girlfriends @ Maris Grove :) What a charmer he was!!!! We always had a good time during therapy and tried to make the best of it. We became good friends and I will never forget the love and care he and his wonderful family showed me. He is now with his wonderful wife, who I know he missed dearly. Love, Jennifer Roycroft
