Be Thou At Peace

| I first met Reid in 1987. I had just passed the Utah Bar and he was the patent council for one of my clients. I practiced law as a securities attorney and over the next 30 years our paths crossed many times. Reid and became "lawyer" friends. I knew he loved to fly his plane and when I was living in Las Vegas he could make the trip by air between Hurricane, UT and Boulder City, NV. In 2012 I started a new business and needed a good intellectual property attorney to help me with several USPTO filings. Reid was the first person I called and he remained our legal counsel to the end. He was not only a great lawyer, but he was a mentor and a friend. God's speed, Reid. |
