I will always remember our times at the shore, watching the All Star Games and the wonderful times on the beach (watching him in his 80's on the Boogie board and riding the waves! WOW). xxxoo Conway's

Hey Grandpa. I'll treasure the memories of our time together for the rest of my life. The baseball games, wheel barrel rides, endless supply of take-home food containers. I'll love you always!

A Gentle Soul - Helping Others
August 13, 2023
It is so interesting that today is the anniversary of Reyes's passing. I was thinking of him last night. My recollection was around his kindness and relationship with the Mannion twins. Also, their sister Mary. Reyes mowed their lawn every summer and he was so appreciated. I also remember the Mannions taking the Fernandez family out for Sunday dinners - to the Manor House (or was it the Country House) in Mt. Holly as I recollect. Reyes was such a gentle soul. With love, Judy
