Reed W. Hartel

Reed was someone who will always remain in my heart. He was more than someone I knew through business; more than just a friend. He was always generous; always willing to give me his time and his knowledge. He touched my life and my family's life, and I will miss him very much.

It always amazed the both of us that we would have sushi once a month and the waitresses always remembered us. Maybe it was the proportions that we ordered.

I will miss Reed greatly. He was a wonderful mentor and friend to me.
He had a wonderful sense of humor and was very wise in many ways.
He was a real positive influence in my life.
