`Reed Senior´ was a big part of my life growing up. Reed´s work ethic, integrity, and honesty were second-to-none. I´ve told too many people to count how I worked on his paving crew. Our families´ car show trips were wonderful times.
I had no idea how large the Vickerman family has grown over the years. The number of grandchildren and great grandchildren is amazing. I´m sure they have provided Reed and Mary Lou with many fond memories and are a great source of pride.
My deepest condolences to Mary Lou the rest of the Vickerman clan.
