Reg moved back to Truro in the 1990's where he worked at Claire 's Taxi and Electric Distributors. Reg loved to play pool, softball and to hunt, fish.  His favorite sports teams were the Detroit Red Wings and the New York Yankees. 

Reg was a life-time legion member and most Saturdays you would find him sitting with his buddies around the liars table laughing, joking and telling some wild tall tales.
