I had the pleasure to be Reg's neighbor for 23 years. He was always friendly and kind to talk to. Reg loved his garden and was always proud to show you his crop of tomatoes. In the last few summers you would see Reg zipping around on his scooter. The neighborhood will not be the same without Reg. I am sure going to miss him. - Posted by: Susan (Neighbor) on: Mar 05, 2016
