Not sure what to say?

Reed was a very dear, and so greatly appreciated Friend. In addition to nourishing my love of the CCC's, he was responsible for helping me secure a Volunteer Campground Hosting position in Big Meadows Campground for the summer of 2017. I so cherish every moment of my time with Reed starting around the turn of the Century and miss him dearly and especially so, when in Shenandoah National Park.

Dear Dolores and family,
Dad called me today and told me of Reed's passing. He has updated us about Reed over the past few months.
When we were kids we always thought you guys were the coolest and you were. I'll never forgot working for Reed at The Salute to the States building for the Phila. Bicentennial 41 years ago.
Our sincere condolences to you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear about Reed's passing. I worked with him at Shenandoah in the early-mid 2000s and always had good conversations with him. I especially appreciated his funny sidebar comments at meetings and other gatherings as well! I know he will be missed by many. He did great things for the NPS, thank you for supporting his career with us. Take good care of yourselves during this difficult time.

Delores:

From our communications of late and years gone by you know how much Reed meant to me personally. I feel a hollowness in heart that simply cannot be replaced or filled. I so cherish the blessings of my time with Reed and his both his friendship and mentorship since we first met. He will be dearly missed. My deepest thoughts and prayers to you and the family.

So sad to read about Reed's passing. We only knew Reed a short time when our paths crossed in Savannah. Our only contact has been Facebook since 2009, and I will miss his wonderful outlook and comments on so many things. Always considered him a good friend and always looked forward to seeing Reed again. We will miss you.
