REGE knew that in order to have a happy life it was necessary for him to laugh and to create laughter. Hardly a day went by that he didn’t say, “you’ve gotta have laughs.”

To honor REGE’S memory, you might want to. . .

Be the best you can be at whatever you do. . .

And, most importantly, do whatever you can in even a small way to find a cure for the disease that did such appalling things to the body, if not the spirit, of this beloved husband, father, grandfather, relative and friend... REGE CORDIC. May he rest in peace.
