I posted here for Reggie whom I knew well. I made a mistake in typing. Please substitute for the word me the word him after the word helping
I hope someone from the family will reach out to me so I can express my condolences. Our lives crossed paths for a while. My family remembers him well. Not to be forgotten.

My name is Neil Giarratana. I was the next-door neighbor of Reggie's for several years while he lived in Mundelein (Ivanhoe Estates), Illinois. I got to know him very well and we would spend hours talking to one another. They were not easy times for him during that period of time. I was intimately involved in listening to and helping me as I could during a trying period for him. He was a gentle, kind man, a man who showed tears and my heart went out to him. So very very sorry to hear of his death. I carry very fond memories of him with me.

So you're telling me Reggie worked for Oprah? That's really cool! I bet right now, she's devastated because he passed away. Besides, a lot of people might not know who he was. Don't worry. You'll meet him in Heaven - for certain.
