Well Reg, we had many laughs together. Deciding what staff were on the next morning, to collect your clothing from the ceiling fan. Oops, wander how they got there. You would have great delight, telling me the next evening, giggling to yourself, that the girls knew who had done it. Christmas won,t be the same either anymore for, Marie and I. Who's room are we going to decorate now? The Collingwood wing, also has one less proud Collingwood supporter. I'll have to barricade harder, for both of us. On behalf of our fellow residents, I personally would like to say, thank you Reg for doing our footy tipping scores each week, over the footy season the last few years. You were always on the ball. Miss seeing you in the corridors and stopping for a chat, your beautiful smile and a true gentleman to heart. RIP. My condelences to all of Reg's family
