Reg was a commercial fisherman for many years and a school bus driver for 25 years, until his retirement. Many people know him as "Dootch". He was the kindest, warmest loving husband and father a family could have. He loved hockey, baseball and bingo, but most of all he loved being with his grandchildren and children, having family gatherings and being around people he loved. He will be lovingly remembered for the way he always let you know that he cared and for his sense of humour.
