Reo was a veteran of the U.S. Navy and a long-time member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians as he honed his skills as a prestidigitator. He was employed by IBM for over 10 years where he received several meritorious awards for his outstanding customer service. Aside from family, magic was his “thing”. His warm smile was his welcome to the people he met, into his world. He also had a passion for animals. They seemed to be attracted to him, and he to them. When Reo met Katie, another passion ensued. Katie introduced him to Greece. He fell deeply in love with the country, the people and the culture. His bucket list included retiring in Greece. Those that were fortunate enough to know him will sorely miss him. His memory lives on.
