Reg, I thought about you all night. I Know Danny and Rick found a guiding light in you. You as an older cousin were always an inspiration in no matter what you did... in music .your piano always played the tune your horse at the Henry County Fair always danced to the tune I am sure your co workers have seen what I have seen. Rick not only shared a wife, but a friend and a co worker..your Faith your Mother cherished will see you thu I love you.. and the memories I carry

I was shocked to see that Richard had passed away! I worked at Proctor in labor & delivery years ago when we were all young and enjoyed his so much. Regina I remember you too! My sympathy and thoughts are with you and your children.
