My brother, friend and entertainment lawyer will never be forgotten. We met when he lived on the east coast and have traveled this thing called life together for almost half a century. He and I spoke monthly or more about our projects, our mutual friends and global economic, political and social issues of the day and our solutions for them. The mental gymnastics kept us both sharp. My hearfelt condolences to the family who I have heard about through the years and know how blessed he was and is to have you as his support system. Rest in Peace My friend, your work and positive impact on others lives on. The world is a better place because God blessed us with your presence and life.
Your brother,
Jacob R. Miles III

To the Reed Family & Relatives,
I am so sorry to hear and read about the passing of a good friend, Raymond Chucky Reed. Its been over 10 years or more, that I have seen him, since I have moved from California. We were friends at Technical High school and football teammates. When another one of our high school teammates, Rev. Robert Gould, came to visit me in California, he came to my home and brought with him, Chucky. I was so surprised to see Chucky and didn't know he was living in California. I worked for a major oil company at the time and invited Chucky to a few Dodger baseball games when I had tickets and he was available. He was a good man and very intelligent as you can see by his collegiate accomplishments with some of the most prestigious universities in the country. I know he will be missed by all who knew and loved him. May his family be blessed by having a family member such as Chucky. I know the loss of him is very sorrowful to you all, but also be joyful in the rejoicing of the life he lived. God Bless all of you.
