Reginald Thayer Hathorn

Reg was Richard's first friend when he moved to WRJ in 1958. They remained friends for 67 years, most recently in Florida and Vermont. We were lucky enough to say our farewells last month and Reg still had his little "chuckle" when talking about past times and the "mischief" he and Rich (as Reggie always called him) got into in their teenage years. Farewell friend - we will miss you.

I say goodbye to one of my closest childhood friends. (Our fathers , George Desnoyers and Rip Hathorn, were friends and in business together for decades.) Unfortunately I moved away from the area some fifty years ago and lost touch, but I often thought of Reggie.

Brian and family, we send our sincere condolences. I couldn´t believe this when I saw it knowing you just lost a sister. Reggie was a "babysitter" for me and my brothers when we were young and my parents(Jean and Richard Henderson) wanted to have an outing. May those special memories you have provide much needed comfort and strength to you.

As One of my Dad´s (Steve Hastings) good friends when I was growing up, Reggie was always fun to be around. I hope they can ride motorcycles together in heaven.
