You and Cecy are missed every single moment of every day by your grand children. I think of you in every grandfather I see, every man in a long khaki coat. Every one of us has a better life because of you. As we stood by your bedside and held your hands, you uttered "all my babies are here" and we are so glad we were.

Mr. Reed III was a true gentleman and cared so much for everyone that worked at Jim Reed Chevrolet. He always put the customer first and personally called each person that bought a vehicle from his dealership to thank them for their business. A true legend has past from the automotive world and the hearts of many, My condolences to his family and friends.

Mr. Reed was, without question, one of the main reasons that I am the person I am today. Having the privilege to work with him is something that I have cherished, and will continue to do so for the rest of my life.

Loved you and will miss you. You were such an elegant man.

Mr. Reed was the finest man I have ever had the privilege of knowing. He made it a point to make everyone around him feel special. He gave everyone the impression that what they had to say or do was more important than what he was doing...He made time for everyone,
I will never forget when a new employee was hired he would keep their picture at his desk so he would be sure to recognize them by name when he saw them around the store. (Not an easy task in a company that size) That is...

My deepest sympathy to the Reed family for your loss.

It is with great sadness that I read of your father's passing. Our many years in Nashville were enhanced by the generosity and love of your parents.
I am deeply grateful for my chance to know both of them.

Much and love and peace to all of you,
Miriam & Jeffrey Bassuk
