Reg was an amazing man. His knowledge and the detailed maps he drew when teaching our Joy Sunday School class were awesome! Gordon and I will miss him but knowing I can praise the Lord for bringing him into our lives helps my heart heal.

Reg was a fun guy to be around. He took after his dad who loved to punctuate stories and comments with humor. He fought the good fight and will be missed and remembered by many. Ed and Anne Smith
