My sincerest sympathies to the Reynolds family. I never met Gordon, but my cousin Deborah Bristow Hiller and mother told me about him. He sent her a cassette tape from a family get-together years ago. My mother was Florence Belle Tomlinson Huestis. My great great grandparents were Gordon's great grandparents. I'm sorry to have never connected with him. It is a truly great loss. My thoughts are with you all at this difficult time.
