Mr Reynolds was my middle school science teacher. As an awkward, shy student, I was often the source of bullying. Mr Reynolds always gave me tasks that made me feel better about myself. At the time, I thought of him as a grandfather - only later to realize he was about 27 at the time! I´ll never forget his kindness and the impact he had on little me. May he rest in peace.

In loving memorie of Mr. Reynolds, I would just like to thank Mr. Reynolds for everything hes done for me and my fellows classmates as a senior In highschool his passing was very hard to hear. I looked up to him so much to the point I dressed up as him on Teacher Appreciation Week. I never could have learned science without him. He will be miss very much but certainly not forgotten through the laughs and kindness he showed to everyone. His memories will stick with me forever.

Between teaching at the Bethel Middle School and coaching youth sports, Jim had such a profound and positive impact on so many children and families in the Bethel community. The Herbst family sends along our deepest sympathies during this most difficult time. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Reynolds family.
