My deepest sympathy, he was always a part of St. John’s as far back as I can remember into my childhood. I’ve met several members of his family here in the DeKalb area, was nice to talk to them about Reggie! Again my sympathy.
We knew Reggie because of mutual interest in harness racing. He was always friendly and liked to chat. We’ll miss seeing him at the fairs.
Condolences to the family from his Iowa harness racing friends! My parents used to train horses for Roy and Pat and we got to know Reggie really well. Im sure he will be dearly missed at the Illinois fairs.
