My deepest sympathies to the family of my former father-in-law, Joseph Reynolds. He was a good, decent man, a loving husband and father, and grandfather (of my two daughters).

His was a full life, well-lived, and he will be sorely missed and fondly remembered.

May he rest in eternal peace with his bride, Barbara.

With deepest respect,

Kevin J. Grover
