In the early 2000’s he and Bertha moved to Salem, CT. He was a skilled handyman and woodworker; he loved building wishing wells and lawn silhouettes. He was always his happiest when he was outdoors working with his hands, whether it was spending time in his garden, or in his tool shed. Care of private arrangements have been entrusted to the Aurora-McCarthy Funeral Home of Colchester.  In lieu of flowers the family asks that memorial donations be made in Reginald’s name to the Gardner Lake Fire House 429 Old Colchester Road, Salem, CT 06420.
