Dear Family, I just found out today we lost my freind. Reed was a great guy! I met Reed though the HUSD. We lived in the same Hayward area. I was off of Muir street. He sold me a pair of rims for my El Camino. Later we met up at Baylands Raceway were I gave him a hand between his races, pounding out the wheel wells dented up from the last race he ran! He was so cool. I met up with him again at Marshal Field and just talked about baseball and the warm weather, and family. With love in my heart and a tear in my eye , God has a good man and peace and love to his family. I will miss seeing him at the ballpark!He’ll always be one of my good memories! Thanks Reed and may God bless you and your family till we meet again!##imported-begin##Robert Herrera##imported-end##
Coach Reed was my T-ball coach for two seasons and one season in C Div. Though I haven’t played for him in three seasons, he was always my coach. He never stopped caring and always gave me advice. I liked him alot and I liked how he was always cracking jokes. I will miss him but I will never forget him. Thank you Coach, for everything. Your pal, Kevin Dixon##imported-begin##Kevin Dixon##imported-end##
I met Reed 4 years ago on the baseball field. He became one of my friends dwon there. He always had postive feed back about the game and he loved doing what he did with the kids. My son was having trouble with his batting and he lent me this thing he made that helped my sons swing. I will miss seeing him down at the fields and chatting with him.##imported-begin##Joel Bellison##imported-end##
Sending my thoughts and prayers to Reed’s family for their loss.##imported-begin##Zara Estabillo##imported-end##
I was introduced to Reed at Marshall Field as we were both involved with CVIBL (Castro Valley Independent Baseball League). My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. Reed was an incredible man, father, grandfather, coach, manager, volunteer, and the list goes on and on. He had a passion for coaching kids the game of baseball. Anyone involved with the CVIBL for the last 20+ years could attest that Reed was a driving force at CVI and we will miss him greatly.Reed will definitely be missed.Rest In Peace##imported-begin##Brian Wasem##imported-end##
My experience with Reed was in its entirety, while at CVI.Reed had an exceptional way about him. He never hesitated to let you know if he thought something was wrong but he was always equal in his praise. He only wanted what was bestââ?¬Â¦in my experienceââ?¬Â¦for the kids and families.I had the opportunity to serve on the Board at CVI with and after Reed. They were very large shoes to fill in his absence. It was Reed that I went to in the beginning to seek advice. He was always willing to share but never too stubborn to hear about a new idea. Reed was part of a generation of men down at the Fields that built not just backstops and diamonds but places that kids could come and enjoy themselves with their families and friends. For me and my family, it was magical. Reed had a lot to do with that magic.Reed touched many lives. He will be dearly missed. Certainly by me.To Suzie, Mickey, Melissa and all of Reedââ?¬â?¢s family…thank you for sharing such a wonderful man.##imported-begin##Robert Cardenas##imported-end##
