REST IN PEACE
BILL "GRAMPY" REID

Beloved father, grandfather, fisherman, and searcher of potential boyfriends for me

Every time I would see him he would ask if i had a boyfriend. I wish I could have told him yes =P

He helped me earn Brownie merit badges by taking me fishing

I remember him sitting in his Laz-boy in the den at Blythewood with all that horrible yellow shag carpeting.

I remember when mom would read Nina's letters out loud, laughing when she called Grampy "His Nibs"

I remember him and Ernie going off for the weekend to catch some salmon and us eating all that they brought back

I remember summers at his bright red cottage on the bay

I remember seeing him for the first time after he lost all that weight and wondering who this new person was.

I love you, and will miss you, Grampy.
