Dear Ann & Family
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. We just went through the tragic death of our son, Jim in December and Reg made a point of coming to the memorial. We knew him a long time (over 20 years) through the trucking industry. Again our deepest sympathy.

To the Horton Family, our sincerest condolences on the loss of a wonderful man, Reg. He was a terrific person and I was priviledged to call him a friend.

I am sorry to read about the passing of Reg. I last saw him when I was made up at St Marks Lodge a couple of years ago. Before that we were on the Police Force together until I left in 1975. My prayers are with your family. A great guy who I am happy to have been friends with.

Ann and family. I want to extend my heartfelt sympathies on the passing of Reg. I worked with Reg when he was employed at Mullen Trucking, a super guy. I will not be able to attend the service as I will be on the road trucking.Remember that as time goes on it will become easier, cherish all the good times you had. May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

We would like to pass along our most deepest sympathy to you and your family. Reg came in often to our office at Calgary Auto Leader to visit with Daryl Black. Reg always provided us with lots of jokes and laughs. The last time Reg came into the office he told us about his cancer and that he was going in for surgery. Being the joker that he was he told us about his preop visit and the nurse asking him if he knew what type of surgery he was having and of course he said I think a tonsilectomy.

Dear Ann. I don't know if you will remember us but we went to a few New Years Eve dances with the Johnson's and you and Reg. We were very sorry to hear of his passing. He seemed to be a man that enjoyed life and we enjoyed our New Years Eve's with you both. Our deepest sympathy. Audie & Eileen Kievits

Ann, going through this a few years ago myself I know it is a lot to handle. My thoughts are with you, and the family. I have known Reg through business for over 25 years and he always had a funny story to tell the staff when he came into the office, I will miss his sense of humour. Again my deepest sympathy

Dearest Ann and Family:
We were so shocked and saddened when Terry phoned and told us the news of Reg and his passing. Unfortunately for us we never got to meet you or your children being so far away and never traveling to Calgary. Reg cane to visit a few times when he was out in our neck of the woods driving truck and we had a great visit. It was wonderful that my kids were able to meet their 2nd cousin. He was such a breath of fresh air and he looks so much like my dad( Uncle Charlie) but then again my dad and Uncle Leslie looked like they could have been twins. I wish we could have seen more of each other but at least we did have some time together when he was healthy and happy.It is a shame that we could not have met you all but please know that no matter what we are still family and I hope that our love reaches your heart in this time of saddness.
