Annette and the entire Jamison family you have our deepest sympathy. Reginald was one of my 1963 classmate that I will forever cherish his memory. He was always a nice humble person and will truly be missed. RIP! Willie Mae and Peter Harris
To Annette and family. I am very sorry to learn of the death of Reginald. We were classmates at Albert Harris. He was a good guy and just a nice person. I last saw him about 25 years ago. As friends do, we laughed and talked about the good old days. He will not be forgotten.
