Tam, Graham, Mikayla and family,
Deepest condolences, we loved spending time with your family, especially your friendly father. He always was there to listen, loved talking to Dave about soccer and always had a smile on his face.
We are gear for you all and will never forget Reg xxx

Reg, you are one of life’s true gentlemen. Everyone was welcomed into your family with kindness and an open heart. You were always interested to know about people, their lives and their own family. It’s been a pleasure to have been a part of your and Trisette’s life, thank you. Your legacy will forever live on through Tam & Chris.
RIP Reg 💜

Uncle Reggie was a big man with an even bigger heart. I remember, even as a child, feeling so welcomed and loved. His love for his family was the centerpiece of his life and I couldn’t be more proud to be a small part of that big life. To my Auntie Trissette, Tammy and Chris, sending you my deepest condolences and prayers during this difficult time. Love Jesse and Family. Xx

Trisette and family
My sincere condolences to you all. Reg was such a lovely neighbour; he was always so kind and friendly to me. I will miss our chats very, very much. He always had plenty of news for me - always up with the latest!
I will keep you in my prayers.
May all your wonderful memories give you great comfort; never to be forgotten.

I always loved coming to the parties for Tam, as I knew we were going to see you, Trisha, and the rest of the Speldewinde family. Reg, you really were a special person – your inner glow radiated, your charm, made people around you feel so special. You had a skill where you would make people feel at ease, and you always made sure Leon and I had something to eat and drink! Tam definitely takes after you!

We have just finished watching your service, and we admire what a beautiful family you had around you and how much you gave to life. You are an example of the saying "what you put into life, is what you get out of life" - and your life was full of love.

Leon and I are about to watch the Matildas' match, and I'm sure they will get a goal just for you. Thinking of you all. Sim and Leon x

A life well lived and celebrated with friends and those he loved.
Reggie will be missed by all, but especially his family and grandchildren. Loving, devoted, happy go lucky and welcoming to all is how he will be remembered ,as well as his love of partying, dancing and singing. 🌹

Martine Spurrier on 19 August, 2023 at 12:48pm

Words can’t encapsulate loss. My condolences go out to the Speldewindes and extended family. Such a tight knit clan with family at the very core of Reg and his very being. A warm and loving man. Rest In Peace amongst the stars. X

Lee & Kenny Gillett on 18 August, 2023 at 11:44am

What a man,the service could have gone for 6 hours to talk about Reggie. We were outside the family unit but with Reg we were welcomed as part of it. Lee called him Uncle Reg. Both Reg and Trisette were always interested in what you had to say not that you got a great chance,Reggie could talk the leg off a chair. We were so disappointed we could not be there to farewell him as we both have the utmost respect for him. You would love to have had him as a Husband ,Father , Uncle , Grandfather, Father in Law we were privileged to be able to consider him a true friend and I think he felt that way about us. I know this time is hard for the family but you all have some fantastic memories to reminisce about. Reggie left nothing untied ,he took it all out on the park . Our sincere condolences to all family and friends and we are so lucky Reggie crossed our path RIP Reg

Sarah & Sean Bardsley on 18 August, 2023 at 10:26am

An incredible celebration of Reg's life - a wonderful man, friend, Husband, Pa and Dad, and he lives on in you all - you all did him proud.
Wednesday was a wonderful tribute and celebration to a life well lived.
RIP Reg 💗

What a beautiful service for a beautiful man. Thank you Aunty Tris, Tammy, Chris and family for making the live stream available so we could watch from overseas. It was and still is a shock to hear that Uncle Reggie is no longer with us. We will certainly miss seeing him at our many amazing family events. It was great knowing Uncle Reg and we’ll cherish all the time we got to spend together. We’re thinking of all our family in this very difficult time.
Rest In Peace, Uncle Reg.

We will miss Reg very much as he was the life and soul of every party and lived life to the fullest.

Tris, Tam and Chris, my condolences at the passing of Reggie. A great man and like a second dad for much of my teenage years. I loved the parties, music and family gatherings. Reggie loved a dance and a drink. Will be sorely missed and hope you celebrate a man who loved life.

Dearest Uncle Reg,
Your passing away was such a shock to all of us. You were my Dad's favourite brother as you were the youngest in the speldewinde siblings of 7. Uncle Reg you always opened the doors of your home to Ashley and myself and never failed to call us over to your home whenever we visited aussy. Your loss to the family will be deeply missed. We have the consolation that you are now reunited with your loving parents, Dad and U Ian in the beautiful Garden God has created for you all.
May your Soul RIP.
Your loving Niece
Michelle

Dearest Speldewinde family,
I didn’t know Reg that well but I do know that his love of family and his influence on all of your lives was profound. He’s touched so many but his legacy lives on in all of you. And he loved an event, just like you Tam. All the best for tomorrow xx
