To all the Reid family our thoughts are with you at this very difficult time. So sorry for your loss.
Our most heartfelt condolences go out to all of the Reid family. May you find peace and comfort in the good memories Carl has left you with, and in knowing others are thinking of you.
Whenever I saw Carl, he always had a smile along with something funny and teasing to say, then always asked how and where the family was and what everyone was doing. He was always happy to tell me how his kids were all doing as well.
Gentle HUGS along with our thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family at this time.

My thoughts are with Carl’s family at this difficult time. I worked for Carl while he owned the Roadway Inn Motel, and I enjoyed having him as a boss; he really was a great man.
Our most heartfelt condolences for your loss May God be your source of strength at this difficult time (Psalms 9:9-10).
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
