Reggie was always glad to see me and willing to help me with any project I had going on. Best welder I have ever known and a great role model for me. I would bring my latest race engineering problem to him and together we would figure it out. One of the good guys truly missed by many.

"Uncle" Reggie had many God given talents, and was always ready to help me when I called on him. I enjoyed working with him at Charleston Sheet Metal, and he taught me a great deal. He repaired my vehicles, and those of my friends in an excellent manner. I have fond memories of going to the races with him, and "Aunt" Dereda when I was young. I always thought a lot of him and it always baffled me that he never seemed to age. My sincere condolences to Veeann and Shannon and the family.

I first met Reggie at Northbridge Baptist Church and he quickly became someone I considered a friend. He was a. very special man.and had what I called a quiet smile. He had a way about him that made you feel he really liked you and was glad to see you. My prayer is for peace that will help ease this heartache and only our Lord can give that. I love your family and am so glad I got to know your DAd , Barbara Lide

I can't remember a time when I didn't know Reggie. He was always ready to help anyone at anytime. He loved his Lord and you would surely know if you were around him for any length of time. When Terry and I moved back to South Carolina we lived on the other side of the road and I would visit him and Dereda (sic). Sadly when we sold our Peirpont property I was not able to visit with him as often as I wish I had. I am keeping the family and friends in prayer for peace and comfort at this sad time. God bless and keep each of you.

I grew up out in Pierpont not far from Reggie. He was 10 years older than I was, a role model and friend to me. He was always willing to help solve some mechanical problem I was trying to solve. No doubt the best welder I ever met. He once told me he could "weld two popsicles together." RIP old friend. You'll be missed by many.
