Our thoughts are with you Shirley, and the family at this time. Reid was my boss at NZ Rail. Good boss. Made redundant at the same time.

Dear Shirley and family, please accept my sincere condolences and sympathy in sad loss of Reid. Our mutual friendship started when were both junior officers in out respective lodges, and Masters in the great year 1967. Visiting was great in those days and we were frequently together. I was just a past Grand Steward when Reid joined G.L. Even more in recent years as part of the "A" team we enjoyed the company of all that team in Lodge as well socially. Remembering New Year BBQ's at Omaha Beach by courtesy of the Cato's.
If Carmel was still with us, she would wish to be associated with these wishes, and in particular her times involved with Roskill village Annual Fair.
May the memories of Reid be a blessing to you and your dear family.
