He was in my Air Force Pilot Training Class. He and Lori were the only mature ones in the class. Super Great guy and a guy you wanted as a friend--he's always be there for you. He'll be missed....

What a tough year for our pilot family.

Reid administered my B727 Capt. oral, gave me IOE and was an awesome ACP.

A true gentleman in all respects.

Godspeed and fair winds, my friend.

I'm so sorry to hear about this. I had a training event (Sim) with him a while back. Outstanding instructor and professional guy. Wish all the FDX folks could emulate this guy. May his family be comforted during this period!!

Clones

I only knew Reid because he was an ACP. He was such a great ACP, I wished we could clone him so that all ACP's could have been as good as he.

Reid, you will truly be missed. You were truly special.

Reid administered my sim ride for the FDX interview. I could not have asked for a better person to do it. I got the opportunity to fly with him a few times in the Boeing. He was a true gentleman. He'll be missed.
