We are so sorry for your loss. Your father / husband became a great friend of mine when I bought my first Harts suite from him over 20 years ago.
God Bless your family

Dear Shirley, Bob, and Family
Jan and I are sorry that we could not be with you for Marshalls services. We want to express our sincere condolences. Marshall was a great friend and a fine gentleman. I will always remember our good times with the Optimists and toofers. He never missed a birthday wish to Jan, as their birthdays were the same day. We will miss him a great deal. Our Prayers and Thoughts to all.

Bob,
I can still see your dad and my dad in the back room at Roger Stuart drinking coffee with Mr. Reid smoking his cigar and he had his handle bar moustache! Those were the good old days!!! Your dad was a class act.

To Shirley & Family;
We had the privilege of knowing Marshall for many years. It was always a pleasure to see him at the Holden-Reid Store and at the Two-fer's dinner group.
Our thoughts are with you and the family during this difficult time.

To the Family of Clay Marshall Reid:
I am sadded to read about the death of Mr. Reid. I've known Mr. Reid for over 40 years as he has dressed my father-inlaw, myself and my sons from his various stores. He will not only be missed by you, but also by his valuable customers as myself. I will truly miss his friendly manner, and his genuine smile. May God be with you and him at this time.

I missed the entry cut off so I am going to cheat as I light a candle that symbolizes unending love and life now and in transition.
Uncle Marshall and Aunt Shirley went with us to Millionaires Row at the Derby. I wanted to say thank you for the wonderful times at Lake Huron. Bo Derek stopped to hi to Uncle Marshall (wasn't all that impressed) but it was a great day. When we got home, I asked if he had a good time. He hesitated and with his honesty said, "All I really wanted to do was hang out at the stables and watch the horses." I felt a little inadequate and sad that he wasn't overwhelmed with the day. But me being a Reid also, I said,"Well why didn't you tell me that's what you wanted." It's was one of my favorite days!

Bob and Family: Just saw the obituary on the State Journal website. I am so sorry to hear about Marshall's passing. I always enjoyed talking and visiting with Marshall. Both at the store in Frandor and at MNB in Frandor. He was always a bright and happy addition to my day. He was always at the top of my list of people I had hoped to see whenever I made my trips back to the Lansing area. I will miss him greatly. My best as always to you and your entire family.

Uncle Clay Marshall was my last uncle and we will sure miss him.

Bob: I want to wish you and your family God's grace at this time. I first met your dad back in 1965 when working as a page in the Michigan House of Representatives. Holden-Reid supplied our sports coats and opened accounts for each of us. From that time I would often stop in and buy clothes from your dad. He was always so courteous and helpful. And over the years I have seen those same qualities in you. Take care and God bless.
