To the Reid Family,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. It felt like I was losing my own father. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.
Mr. Reid will be missed by me and many others. I will miss his playful ways and caring thoughts as a child growing up on Johnson Hill. Then I got to Mr. Reid as I grew into adulthood. Who would have thought, I would become so close to him as an adult. I didn't look to him as a friend, but as my own dad.
I am going to miss our talks about our Masonic family. The last talk we had was a a few weeks back at my uncle's funeral.

With Love,
