Reggie was one of my dearest friends, and we shared many laughs and adventures. He was always there when I needed him, and taught me a lot of valuable life lessons during our many conversations, and wasn't afraid to be blunt when needed, which is the sign of a true friend. He also taught me so much about nostalgia which always fascinated me, and of course the Beatles. I will miss him, and certainly won't be the only one who does. My thoughts and condolences to his family and friends. He was a fine man, and left a great mark in my life and undoubtedly the lives of others. Very sincerely, Brian Loftin

Never had a better friend. Reggie was the kind of man who would show up to help you move! That says a lot. You could really light him up by asking him trivia about Bricklins or anything to do with the Beatles. He was an encyclopaedia of all kinds of practical know-how. If you needed his advice, he'd give it to ya straight. A real man's man. I'll miss my buddy!
