I am so very sorry. Reggie was very helpful to my father, Charlie Butera. He was a kind, thoughtful man. The family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Mary and family,sending heartfelt condolences from your Nova Scotia cousins. I remember the first time you both arrived in your motor home to visit grandma on Cottage St and of course our trips to New York to Reg’s parents home most summers of my childhood. Wonderful memories to cherish. Holding you close in our hearts. God bless
