| Reid was/is my grandpa. He and I had a very close relationship with him, one that was very different from most grandfather/grandson relationships. We were more like peers in a lot of ways, playing sports and spending hours in deep conversation. He had a great impact on who I am today. I loved him dearly, and I miss having him around. Thanks to the others for sharing their stories. They really made my day. |
