Pat,Heather & Candice:

Please accept our condolences, Les was everything that a father,grandfather & friend should be. Always smiling, always laughing, always wanting to know where the deer and the fish were. I would always remind him that they were right in his backyard. Keep strong Reynolds family, knowing that Les is no farther away than in our heart and memory.
