One thought on “Thomas Willard Reiff

  1. Tom became a good friend, We shared a common interest in sailing and the pool. Tom, Dave and I would have monthly lunches together. Together, we rebuilt the Chanticleer pump room and the snack shack interior. Tom and Dave had several woodworking projects around the pool over the years. The “old guard” at Chanticleer Swim Club will truly miss him. RIP my good friend.
