THE Emerald region is mourning the loss of a well-respected grazier and agent, after Wallace (Wally) Reid passed away peacefully on Monday June 5 at the Mater Private Hospital, Rockhampton at age 88.
Wally is survived by his children Del, Greg, Andrew and Stuart and was predeceased by his wife Elaine.
The funeral service will be held at the Emerald Uniting Church, Borilla Street, on Monday June 12 at 9.30am.
Wally and his predeceased wife Elaine first settled in the Central Highlands area at St Aubins, Comet, where they remained for 10 years.
Following on from St Aubins and Nine Mile, they continued to own and manage several blocks in the Central Queensland region, before Wally relocated from the land to a position as a Primac stock and station agent for the remainder of his working life.
