Reggie was a very kind and helpful man who enjoyed helping others. He would go out of his way to lend a helping hand. His caring manner was very much appreciated by his wife’s sisters the “Libbey Girls” after they became widows.

He was predeceased by sisters, Laura Brodeur and Vera Bishop; brothers, Robert, Arthur and Gerald .
Surviving are his wife of 67 years, Geraldine (Libbey) Richards; his beloved dog Rondo; sisters, Verna Joy and Darlene Polk. He was a very special uncle to many nieces, nephews and cousins.
