My respect to a legend always thought of as a Giant among men who was as strong as he looked a real Mans Man.

thanks

Reg, my father met you when you came to California and he kept the picture you signed on the wall in his study in a place of honor. It hangs there still even though both you and him are gone. Thanks for meaning so much to him.

The legend lives on.

Reg has always been an inspiration to me and I'm glad to see others as well. He will be missed.
