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

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.
