Janet : I was very sad to hear of Regis passing. It was so good seeing you both at the 50th FC HS reunion 2022! Regis had a very good sense of humor even in Geometry class, which is difficult to do. May the Lord be with you in this trying time.

Rege was a friend that I looked forward to talking to all the time. We laughed, joked, talked politics, our childhoods and our military service. Rege was always talking about Janet, his kids and grandkids. Many time Janet would be on the call with us and joined in the banter. I'm going to miss Rege as I can't believe he's gone. RIP my friend. You were a good person and cared about everything. You were one of a kind. See you again one day. Jon Ready
