Cobras BC wrote a sympathy message

“Thank you Mr Reid for giving me an opportunity to be introduced to a new philosophy of basketball in Virginia. I will always be forever grateful and thank you for the conversations that we would have no matter the time and all of the great experiences you shared. Without you and your help, I would not have gained the great experience of officiating Post-grad basketball at Hargrave Military Academy and meeting such good officials in the area. You will be missed dearly. T. Cooper”
