I remeber Reg and Edith always being very encouraging about the ministry, saying that to keep your faith strong, you had to keep the ministry sharp. I have known them since I was very young.
Never have I heard anything negative about anyone, in the truth or out. Jehovah truly used them both as faithful servants. They will be missed. They were close to my family. They will be missed.

Reggie and Edith were two of the first friends I met when learning the truth. Always zealous and ready for the ministry when we were at the old Kingdom Hall. We had many wonderful meals at their home since they lived right behind the Hall. Both will be sorely missed. We will see them again very soon.

Reg and Edith have always been special to me, since they were so close to my grandparents. I long for the time when all of our loved ones will once again surround us everyday. We sure do need the paradise!

Reg reminds me of Moses. As the 11/1/63 WT says, "Moses’ personality was equally outstanding, for “the man Moses was by far the meekest of all the men who were upon the surface of the ground.” (Num. 12:3)"
Reg was like that. His quiet personality belied a firm and assertive faith in Jehovah's goodness and eternal purpose.
We will miss Reg for a while and then joyfully welcome his return!

We have known Reg and Edith for over 35 years. They have always manifested a zeal and love for the truth and our Creator, Jehovah. We long for the time when Reg will return, in the resurrection, to enjoy life on earth, in Paradise for all eternity. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Sorry about the loss of both Edith and Reggie. What I remember most about them is that they were faithfully at every assembly and district convention. (We didn't go to the same congregation).
You would always see them walking around together. It was sweet. Nice way to be remembered!! So many of our older ones are missed very much. Can't wait till the day!!

My memories of Reg & Edith go as far back as 1970 when we first came into the truth. They are truly wonderful people who will be dearly missed. Their faith in Jehovah was strong & it is what helped keep them happy to the end. With much sadness, Dana & family
