| Very sad to hear about Reggie. I played keyboards in the "Classic Affair". Man some wild times and Reggie was my soul brother. He was a fantastic entertainer and gave his all anywhere we played, including I might add a performance for the royal family at Western Springs Stadium. Sail on Bro. - Bob Patient |
| I knew Reggie when he used to visit our nightclub in Christchurch and also I would catch up with him in the North Island. Reggie was a very good musician. Sympathies to all the family - Kevin Frewer (Retalliation, Fantasy Band, Tom Thumb) |
