Heaven gained an angel when George Randolph Reed of Fredericton, NB beloved husband of Marjorie (Currie) Reed , passed away February 24, 2019 at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital.

Above all, George loved spending time with his family, especially his great grandchildren who always put a smile on his face.
