My condolences to the Reid family. I met Mr. Reid in the mid 70's (thanks Les)and saw him as a kind and gentle soul. It was always a pleasure to see him thru the years. No matter how much time passed, he always remembered who I was. A talented man. A real gentleman. My respect for him was why I always addressed him as Mr. Reid. He will surely be missed by many.
