What can we say? Bob Reed was such a gentleman and an ideal friend! We had wonderful times together, working and playing with of all our respective children!
His passing is a tragic loss. Our time spent on this Earth is but a vapor when compared with Eternity. We know most assuredly that he is in arms of Jesus. Nevertheless, we shall miss him terribly and grieve until the Lord returns if we are not called into His presence before then.
Our empathy is with evryone, friends and family alike. Danny & Sue Kaye.

I remember Mr. Reed very fondly as a teacher in Amherst. He was one of the best and will be remembered for a long time. I remember once he wanted to give me a detention but decided not to because my dad was a guidance counselor at the high school and knew my parents from St. Josephs. Mr. Reed was always at St. Joe's every sunday sitting in the front row. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
