Reynolds – Roger Lawrence Reynolds of Bassano, beloved husband of Dorothy passed away at Bassano Health Centre on August 26, 2015 at the age of 75. Roger was born in California, served in the United States Navy and in 1965 took over the family farm near Bassano that his grandfather James owned. Roger loved airplanes and when not flying his Grumman he would spend time woodworking and building and flying model airplanes. He was quite mechanical and enjoyed a challenge. Roger liked tinkering with mechanical devices and could repair anything from clocks to combines. In 1990 Roger and Dorothy retired, sold the family farm, and spent the winters in Yuma Az. Roger however, could not stay away from the land. He befriended a local farm family and spent the summers helping them by doing what he loved. Roger is survived by his loving wife Dorothy, son Scott of Bassano and daughter Susan of Vancouver.
