Chris, Zach, Zoe and I send our deepest condolences. You are all in our thoughts and in our hearts and we wish we could be there to mourn with you - together as a family should be. Rather than focus on the sadness of losing Pop, I try to focus on the great accomplishment that his life was. To live to be almost 94 years old is a feat that only a few are lucky enough to experience. And to be surrounded by so much family during all of those years is even more rare. To be able to stay in his own home was a gift that probably meant more to him than any material item he ever possessed.
There is a word that is used a lot on my dad’s side of the family that seems fitting to share today. The word is Mizpah. We use it to mean “Even if we are separated - either by distance or death - may the Lord watch between me and thee.” When you think of Pop, just know that he is still being watched over, he is at peace and he will live on in all of our memories. You may see him in one of your kid’s smiles or you will hear him in a laugh; think upon him fondly and with pride that you were a part of his life and able to share in that, not in sadness because he is no longer here. Celebrate his life and cherish the part you played in it.
Sending lots of love,
Cathy, Chris, Zach and Zoe

I want to pass along my sincere condolences to the Reid family on Willis' passing. I have many fond memories of our winter trips over the years to the All Knights Inn where we shared the generous hospitality of Willis and the Reid families. I learned from Willis, among other things, what "clapboarding out" in 500's meant and that a stream from a highflying jet on a clear day meant rain coming tomorrow. He was a kind and gentle man and a true Newfoundlander. May God rest his soul. Hal Stanley

To all the Reid family.
We were saddened and surprised to hear of your dear Dad’s passing . I often thought oh him and would think how wonderful it was that he was still enjoying life at such an age. I have memories of him coming to Rocky Harbour , visiting Mom , in his later years , and marvelled at the fact that he was so active.
I’m sure you will all miss him , immensely, but I know you have lovely memories that will bring smiles to your faces. Cherish every one. Love to you all.
Wayne and Lillian Pittman . Gander

I have fond memories of being in the presence of Willis from time to time. His family obviously thought the World of Him as I witnessed during a few of his June 19 birthday parties. He was a card shark at 500s, as our snowmobile touring group came to know while while enjoying good times together with Willis at All Knights Inn, Upper Humber River. I'll not forget the recovery one fine winter's day of Gene Reid's "slush bucket' sleigh, previously abandoned at Lake Michael in the GNP wilderness. Without the help and guidance of Willis, Gene and I would never have returned that valuable sleigh back to Reidville.
I wish to express my sincere condolences to the Reid Family.

To the Reid family... nine and a half decades ...that is quite something...no doubt there will be a huge void in your large family. I often heard my mother-in-law speak of your mother and father and their years of friendship. Their legacy remains with you all.

To all the Reid families.
Ah, another old patriarch has moved on down the line. The man with the pleasant smile and quite demeanour, the man who loved life and laughed so much when reminiscing stories of the whole family, has slipped quietly into the ages.
Every Spring, when a new fishing season began, Willis and Bessie found their way to the Baker’s Brook/Rocky Harbour part of this coast to visit friends and spend time with relatives. So many Saturday evenings he would pull into mother’s driveway and walk up across the garden for a little chat. Of course, mother always provided a little snack and a cup of tea to pass the time.
A gentle man, we will remember his kindness, his politeness and, especially, his recollection of days long gone. Stories of his dear mother (our Aunt Alice) and her sisters always found a way into our conversations and left us smiling . For no matter what story these precious sisters related, it was bound to be told in a way that brought uncontrolled laughter to us all. That is the legacy we all remember and repeat time after time.
To all the family, Neta and I extend our sincere condolences. You have all lost, not only a precious father, grandfather, brother and uncle, but a valuable friend, as well. Always a gentleman, he will be fondly remembered.
Wherever you go, my dear man, may there be a hot cup of tea, a freshly-baked white bun and someone with whom to share your many stories and laughter. Rest in comfort, dear cousin.
Dar & Neta Cullihall
