I only knew Del for a short time but really enjoyed every interaction with this kind gentleman. He will be missed.

Del - Mr Reid to me - was truly the kindest man and was always interested in our activities as kids and then adults. Whenever I dropped in to visit Colleen at the cottage it usually began with a visit with Del which Rick and I enjoyed. (Not to mention it gave him an excuse to put the lawnmower or saw down for a few minutes.) Rest in peace and see if you can find my dad to share happy hour with and maybe a sunset. My condolences to all the family.

First and foremost, Del was a nice man. Fortunately for a young firefighter such as myself, he was a great mentor. I enjoyed his company in the stations over the years of my career. He was a good firefighter and a good officer. Always well respected by anyone he met. Myt condolences to his family. Men like him leave a hole.

May the memories you have of your dad give you comfort at this time. With deepest condolence.

So many wonderful memories from childhood at the lake... what more could a child ask for. Rest in peace dear uncle. Love Janice

Uncle Del so many memories even though we didn't see you guys as often as we'd like. My most fondest memory was when we were station in Baden Baden West Germany (1980's before the wall came down). Del and had come for a visit . Irene and my Wife (Shirley) had taken our car and gone off Shopping. One of the local attractions in our area were the Roman Bath at the Baden Casino. The only available mode of transportation available for us was my BMW 650 not an overly large motorcycle. With plenty of time on our hands it was off to the Roman Baths on a drizzly day. To say the ride was cozy is an understatement. We did the full tour. Cold shower, hot bath and then the mummy wrap in the snooze room. We had an awesome experience. Irene was beside herself when got back to the apartment. She would not believe we went to the Baths. She kept sniffing us accused us of being at the Cat House. We will forever cherish these memories.

Del was one of the nicest human beings I have ever known. He was my first cousin, but about the same age as my mom and dad, with whom he and Rene were more like sibblings. He was so kind to my sisters and me. Every memory I have of him is a good one. We were all fortunate to have him in our family and he made all of us better people, just by being around him. Love to all of his family and friends. Heaven has added another angel.

One of the nicest men you could meet, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Del was a true gentleman, and an honorable man who deeply cared for his crew and the people around him. A great Captain when he was our Officer at #4 Station. Wonderful memories ...... We will miss him!

My captain when I was pump driver F418 ( 6 Stn Burrows) Best captain always fair and a gentleman. Rest in piece , my feelings with family . All good memories
