So sorry to hear of this. I remember Mr. Reed as a very sweet and caring man. His daughter Jackie and I were classmates and I remember spending the night at her house and riding the horse! The Reeds lived just down the road from my grandparents, Charlie and Hazel Fitzgerald. Fond memories. My deepest condolences to all of Mr. Reed's family.

Tom and Gert: Sorry to hear of the passing of a brother. I am not sure I knew Jack, but sure knew Tom through your Dad. I managed the Victory in the 80's. Will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Does not seem possible I have been gone for nearly 35 years, left in 1987 after several work injuries.

Anna and family,
Please accept my sincere sympathy on the passing of Jack. He was such a wonderful man and always had a smile and a kind word when you saw him. Much like Harry in that he was one of the "salt of the earth" men. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.
With love,
