I remember Ree fondly from our years growing up in BV and going to Parry McCluer. He was full of laughter and mischief, but always a kind friend. To Jeanie and to Ree's family, I am so sorry for your loss.

I grew up in Buena Vista with all of the Breedens. Stirling and I remain close friends today. I remember Ree from when he was born - through the fear of his polio - watching him grow into a fine young man. My heart felt sympathy and prayers go out to all of the family in the loss of this "good guy". His family have been close to my heart my entire life.
