I extend my Sincerest Sympathy and Heartfelt Condolences to the family of Coach Robert “Bob” Reynolds!! It was an honor to be a member of A.C.Flora’s Track Team 1983-1984!! Coach Reynolds believed in me and pushed me to be an athlete and a 2 time State Champion!! We had so much fun on the bus ride to and from track meets!! My funniest memory was when The State Newspaper made a misprint and had me listed as a 400m relay runner Coach and the entire track team had a laugh at my expense!! So many fun times and fond memories!! Coach was also my US History teacher and the only teacher who gave a damned about me and I am forever grateful 🙏🏽 💕 Paradise has gained a Legend
Rest Easy Coach

My condolences to the Reynold’s family. Coach was my U.S. History Teacher and encouraged me to join the Track Team. He was a Visionary, that pushed me to “Be the Best I Could Be” On and Off the track. I saw Coach at his 90th Birthday celebration and he reminded me of what we had done as a team. Thanks for getting me into college. You will always have a special place in my heart…

Coach, you have been instrumental in so many of our lives and for that we are forever grateful!! My family personally wanted to thank God for bringing you into my brother Rickey’s life. You became a father figure in his life and helped groom him into the awesome man he is today. A lot of folks knew you and his relationship as the track star and awesome coach. However, it continued all these years up until your transition. Thank you for loving my brother and being a “Dad” with your wisdom, love and guidance. The Griddine family love you dearly!!
RIP Coach Bob Reynolds!! He was the GOAT of track & field at A C Flora!! He taught me everything I know bout track & field!! He would say Lisa when you run that 400 you have long legs everybody else has to take 3 steps to match your one so run that straight a way with long strides and you will win every time!! He taught me how to breathe when I run, he would say when you feel that you are getting tired take deep breaths and you will make it around that track!!! He would say when you do the long & triple jump just jump high and stretch oh and watch CHARLOTTE REESE every move!! He always made track fun!!! GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN!!! Rest Easy Coach!! The Coolest Coach Ever!! Keeping his family in my prayers!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I was so Happy to give him his flowers at our Alumni Banquet!!! A C FLORA CLASS OF “83”
