Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • Reginald was the most compassionate and cultured friend that I have ever had. I still think of him 9 years following his passing. If there is a heaven, then he is surely there and relaxing with a book of literature, a fine glass of red wine, some music and a delicious osso buco. Amen. - Posted by: Benet Davetian (Friend) on: Sep 06, 2020

  • Dear family and friends, I had lost Reginald's address, so I went to the Net to get it. I meant to tell him about my projects to travel to Canada and meet with him after 42 years. Shockingly, I then learned about his death. I am deeply saddened. Reginald was a good friend while we were students in France, in Aix-en-Provence. (1966-1968). It was a long time ago but I remember well the good days in Reginald's company. He had a great sensitivity and a great heart. My condelences to the family and his friends. Sincerely, DAVID CORCOS, Palmdale, California, USA. - Posted by: David CORCOS (Family) on: May 25, 2011
