I was so sad when I saw that Mr. Reynolds passed away. He was always so warm, kind and loving. I have so many fond memories of him starting from my Sunday School years at Plymouth Congregational Church where I attended w/Ann. Mr. Reynolds has touched my heart and I am very thankful that he was a part of my life. His memories will forever be remembered!
