Not sure what to say?

I was a patient of Dr. Reid as a child and remember his soft spoken ways. I told him as I got a little older that I wanted to be a doctor just like him . I never did become a doctor, instead became a forensic photographer currently working in Iraq but I will never forget him . I wish that my children could have been treated by him. A great man and a great doctor. God bless.

Dear Barbara, Jim, and Rosemary, Although I have not seen John since I was a child, I have fond memories of him and your family. I remember once when he and your Mom took Peter and I fishing for a day and I had to ride home in the back seat of the car with a bucket of fish at my feet! I rememeber him as a very kind person. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Barbara, Jim, Rosemary, and Families;
I am deeply saddened to hear of Johns passing. He was a wonderful man and he will be missed by our family and many others. He did an excellent job of caring for our children and for so many others. He was the one we relied on for news of the Harris side of the family. I planned on contacting him in the near future but I dropped the ball. Unfortunately we will be unable to attend the service. For this we are sorry.
God Bless, Frank and...

I am so sorry to hear of Dr.Reids death. He treated my children who are now in their 40's and late 30's. He always found the problem what ever it was because my kids always had, "Spagetti or potato's" in their ears. He was a grand man..Prayers will go up to the family and friends.

Dr. Reid took care of all of our five children from infancy. More importantly, he gave me confidence in myself as a young mother, assuring me that I was up to the task. I think that sometimes I was actually the patient, instead of my children. What a wonderful man he was! He will be truly missed.

I offer my deepest sympathy at your lost. Dr. Reid became my pedetrician in 1979. He was a wonderful doctor. He had such a mild manner and the ability to calm a new mothers fears. My children have all their adult lives say he is no Dr. Reid. I would wish every new Mom would be able to find a Doctor as caring as Dr. Reid (as well as his staff). I will never forget his easy manner and his ability to calm my fears for my children. I thanked you then Dr. Reid and I thank you now. God bless...

Our thoughts go out to the family of Dr. Reid who treated our children, Katie and Owen through their youth. Dr. Reid was one of those rare peole who excel at what he did and still maintain his humility. Though we paid the bills, he talked to his patients when he treated them. He actually knew how to talk to and listen to children. He was fully human and whole.

Dr. Reid was my son's pediatrician...what a kind, gentle man he was...he always made time to listen to a worried mother and could always ease my concerns...you could tell he truly cared. God bless you at this time...you must be so proud of your dad...he touched so many lives and I hope the memories of his love will see you through this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear of John's death As I was a young lad in Goodrich one of my fondest memorys is John taking me upstairs to his room and showing me the model planes he had built. he also inspired to become an enthusiast of them. He will be sadly missed.
