I’m sorry for the delay in giving my condolences. I only recently learned of Reed’s passing. I worked at Wegner Metal Arts in Fredericksburg, and had the high honor and complete pleasure of working on Reed’s artwork. I absolutely loved when he would come to the foundry. He was so gracious and kind, and always both interesting to talk to and interested in everyone and everything around him. I am very sorry for your loss, and mine. I will miss being able to see him. God Bless.
