working with Cooperatives. Reg enjoyed many outdoor activities

summers spent at the cottage in Pugwash. He was unbeatable at the game
of cribbage and had an endless supply of jokes (Reader’s
Digest). He enjoyed his years and many fond memories of friendships
made while in Myrtle Beach.
He was a wonderful father and beloved Papa to his

you have shown to us.
