He was a life-long yachtsman, cruising the water of Long Island Sound and beyond. He nurtured that love of boating and the water in all his children and grandchildren. His last few years were spent enjoying the daily flow of life on his beloved Hamburg Cove, with regular visits from his grandchildren, family and friends. He is survived by his son, Gary H. Reynolds and daughter, Carleen R. Gerber and their spouses, Marilynn Reynolds and Don Gerber; grandchildren, L. Thomas Reynolds, G. Hayden Reynolds, Kathryn Wayland, Lauren Paterson, Allison Hine and Emily Gerber; and seven great-grandchildren. He is also survived by two sisters, Doris Jewett of Lyme and Donna Speirs of Old Lyme.

People are welcome to attend either or both events.
