To Marcia and the Reynolds Family:



Carol and I are deeply saddened by Mark's sudden passing. Words alone cannot express our sympathy for the whole Reynolds family. We remember Mark as a kind, family dedicated, and humorous man. We immensely appreciated his invitation to us to a recent Red Sox/Cubs game in Chicago. We will deeply miss him. If there is anything we can do, please just call.

The world has lost a truly great leader.



I'm just another person who was fortunate enough to have the privilege of working under Mark's direction. He earned my respect. I've thought of him often and will miss him.



Only time can ease the pain. There aren't any words to make sense of his passing so I'll keep it short. Our sadness and grief are proof of what a great man Mark Reynolds was, and his positive impact upon those lucky enough to have known him.

To Marcia and the entire Reynolds Family



I was so very saddened to learn of Mark's passing. The twice that I met him were at happy family events - at Denis and Kacey's wedding and then at Patrick's christening and at both gatherings my thoughts were of such a close, loving family. All will miss him greatly and will cherish memories shared over many years.



Love, The Canadian Millar family

How can you leave us? We just played golf and had dinner with you and Marcia 2 weeks ago. You had so much to live for and so many plans for your new grandson, children and Marcia. It's ironic that you and I have been in the longevity business of helping and creating retirement income for the millions who will live to their 80's, 90's and 100's, yet you will never see your own. It just doesn't seem right! Being the meticulous planner that you were it was truly a blessing that you were able to spend the last 3 years with your family. You take care my friend, you will be greatly missed by many! PS: I shall look forward to continuing our golf games and conversations at your new country club in the sky. Look over us and continue to give us your wisdom. Your friend, Dave

Mrs. Reynolds, Marcia, Paul, Maryellen & Jeff, Jane and Family:

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of Mark. Mark was such a kind and pleasant man. To lose a loved one before his or her time is even more difficult and words will never be able to explain the sorrow that we feel for you.

Anything that we can do in the next few days to help please call.

Again, we our so sorry for your great loss.

Love;

Stephen, Anita, Shannon and Maggie.
