My husband and I worked at CP with Reggie and Dorothea, and we had the best time when we were in their company. Reggie was an angel on earth. We never heard him speak in anger and he always looked on the bright side of life. Prayers and condolences to his family. We were all blessed to have Reggie in our lives.
