He was proud of the time he served in the U.S. Army. It was 20 years and 9 days, served from 1955-1975. Reg enjoyed doing flea markets and meeting all the people. He enjoyed working around his home and taking care of all his outside cats. He enjoyed telling his stories about being in the service. Reg enjoyed giving his great-grandsons loads of candy.
