Not sure what to say?

Oí Reg... guess we´re not getting together when I´m in town next week.

Reginald Thurley was one of a kind!! They broke the mold after they made him!!! what a character.. I don´t think he ever met a stranger, Because once you met him, usually in no time at all, you were friends... He was always ready to go! No matter where or when , he was the first one out the door! Reg and Michelle loved and enjoyed their family and friends , and having everyone over for a get together... BBQ , Food and drink, great conversation-laughing -lots of jokes.......

So sorry to hear about your dad´s passing,Shelby. He was a larger than life type of man who left an impression on the lives of those who knew him! Our hearts & prayers go out to you & your family Mike & Roberta Hays

To my beloved Brooxie and all the Thurley´s. Desi and I send you our love and deepest condolences. It´s absolutely beautiful that you are together as a family in this moment. May Reginald´s 84yrs of incredible life continue to bring his people together in love. I know he will be celebrated. I raise my glass in his honor and to the Thurley´s . May he rest in heavenly peace. Big squeeze, your Poodle.

With Brooke constantly recounting so many fond memories, he clearly led an impressive and impassioned life, especially his love of cars, which Brooke and I so enthusiastically share. I think we shall hit the race track in his honour one day in the near future. The man is legendary. My deepest condolences to the...
