Reggie,

life is rife with hard choices and tragic events as it is with blissful revelations and recovery. I salute everything you have done for the hobby and you as a man, a father, a mentor, a kind and quirky gentleman, upstanding and outstanding in your endeavors. I am honored to have met you and to have sat and picked brains,

THANK YOU SIR.

I do Reginald, I do! It is why I don't miss a thing. It was our main topic of conversation when Rhianna did that video for the CBSMF. I find myself totally stunned even today

When god calls on us we should have no regrets. Congratulations on a great job of parenting!

Respectfully,

Ken and Elise Allen

Default please don't go

You are such a wealth of knowledge and experience, would be a shame to see you go.

But I understand, you need to do what you feel best for you and your family.

You obviously did a great job raising your kids. Even in the brief conversations
I've had with you, it doesn't surprise me.
Please forgive me if "selfishly" ask you to continue to do what you do in your
contributions to the hobby. No doubt, they and you would greatly be missed.

Lord bless you, my friend!

Default Stay With Us

Although I don’t know what it is like to lose a child, I do know that we shouldn’t stop being who we are as a result of such a loss or any other loss. Reggie you are an electric football legend. Your legacy was built when your daughter was here on earth. I believe that your legacy should continue now that she has moved on to the afterlife. Moreover, I believe that if you could talk to her, she would tell you to continue on with your work.

By all means, honor her through the foundation. Take the time to heal and return to us. This hobby needs you. I need you.

Maurice

Reggie,
It is your choice to leave the hobby. I have only ever lost a grandpa, which isn't even close to what it is like to loose a child unexpectedly. I know that I am being selfish by saying this, but Reg the hobby needs you. No one can even get close to how great your stadiums are. Your figures are the best I have used yet, and they are great to customize.
So Reg, please don't go.

Taylor

Reggie, My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I too hope that ( selfishly) you stay in the hobby. But either way thanks for all you have contributed.
