ORob1 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Tragic. Reggie was a very under-rated player, IMO. There were games he was the only one that could get buckets-the defense knew it, and he still scored. Prayers for his family...and mostly that he knew Jesus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie used to come to our house, some Saturday mornings with Mike, for me to cook biscuits with sausage gravy. His smile could light up a room and he had a good sense of humor. We loved watching him play. Never did I dream this would happen. I too pray his soul is with Jesus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
