I remember very much as a younger cousin, both when I was a child when staying with Uncle Joe and Aunt Myrtle (and learning the facts of life at the cow barn), and, then, when older, playing baseball against him.... Great memories. God bless you, Red and your family... and hello to Stanley... and God Bless Stanley, too...

I would like the whole Reid family to know that I'm very sorry for your loss. I remember every time seeing Mr. Reid he was alway joking with someone. He was a very nice man and I know you are all grieving deeply. Please know you all are in my thoughts and prayers.
