Reynold married Bonnie Carol Ball of Rexburg, ID in 1964, at the Idaho Falls Temple while married; they had two boys David and Steven. Reynold had many different interests from Flying airplanes, kayaking, fishing, camping, and his love for Photography. But people who loved Reynold will always remember him by the artist that he was, not just the things he could draw and paint, but the things he could build from scratch with just an idea in his head. Reynold truly was a Master Craftsman and had a God given gift of working with his hands.
