Dear Jill and family,
How sorry I am to hear of Bob's passing. He was a major figure in the Fagel/Mynard/Brodner family health care. His humor was so unique, and his diagnostic ability amazing. May his memory sustain all of you in the days to come. My very best wishes. nancy mynard brodner

To Jill and Children - I was sorry to see the notice of Dr. Reid's passing. I had the honor of working for Dr. Reid many years ago and it was a wonderful experience. He had the "healing touch" with his patients, a wicked sense of humor, and he loved all of you very much. May you know that our thoughts are with you at this time.

Dear Jill and the entire Reid Family, You are in our thoughts as is Bob, and many happy memories, at this time.

For years, he was the valued source of all medical information; as my body aged, so did our friendship flourish. Our sessions became less about my thyroid or my colon or other such topics, but about all the good things we shared. It was such a touching friendship that after he retired to his beloved fishing and other diversions, we managed to chat over pancakes from time to time, renewing that bond that the years had solidified. It is a cliche, but it is true: he was so much more than my doctor, so good and caring a man that I will always think of him as a brother. May the values of his life survive him and inspire those of us who knew him.

Bob was a good guy and a good tennis player! I enjoyed being his teammate. Wright B. George

Jill and Family: I am so very sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I do rejoice however to know that he is with Our Father in heaven, where I'm sure he is fishing to his heart's content now! We are all blessed and better for having known the remarkable "Bob The Builder"! You are in our prayers! The Lindstrom Family ~ Steve, Margie, Brittany and Brianna
