Ellery A. Reed

My Dad would always ask for the dum-dum suckers when using the drive through at the bank. The ladies there were always so nice to him.

He had, probably, a dozen dum-dums in the glove box area of his car. On the way home from Dad's going home celebration we all celebrated with a sucker :-)

I love and miss him so much!

Every Monday he would tell or text me how many Mondays I had until retirement. The last update he gave me was 752 Mondays until I can retire. Mondays...

I worked at PGE when Ellery was there. He was always so enjoyable to have in our department, smart, funny, great guy. I only saw him once after he left PGE and of course it was by the downtown Multnomah County library. I still remember how fun it was to find out Annemarie was his daughter when she was at PGE. I recall telling her how much I enjoyed her dad when we spoke at the Fit Factory. I am so sorry to see that he has passed.
