I met REGGIE on the river many years ago. When you saw the shima-lacka-boom boom coming down the river it was on.WE Camped,cooked,played the blues,and would even bet on which way a burning log would fall from the fire. Shade City has too many good stories to tell. Reggie had a lust for life and passed it on to everyone he met.We will all have precious memories and stories to tell about the crazy things he did.Oh and God if you play dominoes with Reg make sure you^r not sitting in front of a mirror.I^m just sayihg.
Your Friend

Its hard to believe that our Reggie is gone. He was bigger than life. His talent to make us laugh were beyond legendary. If you were fortunate enough to find that you were in his room in school you knew you were going to have a good year.
His pranks and jokes are still talked about 50 years later. Like when pulled over by the police and as the officer pulled out the ticket pad, Reggie ordered a hamburger and fries. Or, pretending to pass out in Mr. Davis's ag class and winking at the boys as Mr. Davis prepared to revive him. We all watched his familiar "bird walk" as he walked across the football field at graduation for the class of 70.
His talent with the harmonica was also legendary.
He was gifted in so many ways and those of us (and there are many) that had the gift of knowing Reggie are better people for it.
He will not be forgotten because we all have Reggie stories and love to tell them. I believe Reggie would like that.
My prayers and love to Debbie and the family.
Ray Glenn, Class of 70

Reggie will always stand out in my mind as a very positive, musically talented friend who encouraged me during a time when I wondered if either of us would make it through our health issues. We did. Fifteen years later he just made it to heaven before me. I will never forget his smile nor his joyful attitude toward life:)

I am deeply saddened by the loss of my neighbor Reggie. He was such a funny person. My male dog and his dog had puppies together, and Reggie came to me wanting child support. He made me laugh. he had a wonderful sense of humor. I will miss him coming through the fields on his 4-wheeler. Rest in peace my friend, you will be sorely missed. Play the harmonica in heaven my friend. Your neighbor Gerda---Deb, I am so so sorry for your loss. I know I have been there with Charlie Patton, and I am still not healed.
