Daryl Reid, easily one of my most very favourite teammates ever. half my life i played Volleyball; Daryl stood alone; super-elite natural talent; remarkably modest; a wondrous record-shattering marvel. and a strong, kind, really nice, fun person. Daryl had an echoing genuine smile that lit up a gymnasium; he was bright eyed; and was a quiet supportive friend. i miss him badly already. i only knew Daryl for 1 year; and i hadn't seen or spoken with him for over 25 years. i was so looking forward to seeing him again next week for our 1996 Provincial Championship team Hall of Fame induction. i can't believe he is gone; tears as i write this; he was special. my best to Daryl's family and friends, new and old; and especially to good Dustin, who i also met that same year. i cannot attend in Orono tomorrow; but i will be there in spirit; and i have a good picture of Daryl on display. God speed to us all. may Daryl Reid rest in peace
