Paul Douglas Reid

October 20, 1972

Memories of Paul from family and friends on the 20th year of his passing. Paul left us with a tapestry of memories. He is always in our hearts and never far from our thoughts. Missed by all.

• chicken hearts and KD
• the sound of your Harley in my driveway
• the "Man" on the job site
• keeping time on the dashboard to Lynyrd Skynyrd & Blue Rodeo
• a smile that always lit up a room
• beautiful blue eyes that softened when he looked at his family
• cut off Levi jean shorts and work boots at the woodpile
• you could count on him to always have your back
• 10 point deer pride & loved hunting with his dog Harley and friends
• took to tree removal like a natural
• honourable, stedfast, proud and friend to young and old with a stick to his guns attitude
• cow tipping, road tripping and dashboard cheese curds
• running across the road his feet didn't touch the ground telling about his skydiving adventure
• cheated at racketball so he didn't have to buy the beer
• walking into the Union Hall with one leg burned off his coveralls
• converting a girl's bike by using a wrapping paper roll covered in foil to make it look like a boys bike to ride to work
• loved family traditions and never miss the opportunity to get together
• working for friends as long as beer time was every 1/2 hour
• considered a brother to all his friends and an idol to his brother
• true friend who even if you haven't been together in a long time was always there for you
