Reid is survived by his sister Katherine (Alan) and brother Robert. Predeceased by his parents Robert Raymond and Mary Mabel (nee Phillips). Reid will be missed by friends and a large and supportive extended family. Arrangements entrusted to Gilbert MacIntyre & Son Funeral Home, 252 Dublin St, N, Guelph. Private cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be planned for the spring.
“We say that the hour of death cannot be forecast, but when we say this we imagine that hour as placed in an obscure and distant future. It never occurs to us that it has any connection with the day already begun or that death could arrive this same afternoon, this afternoon which is so certain and which has every hour filled in advance.” – Marcel Proust.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated by the family. Donations and condolences can be made online at www.gilbertmacintyreandson.com
