I had the great privilege to work with Mr. Reed, Bob as I knew him, for 11 years of my early utility career. Just out of school and a new hire at Southern Colorado Power Company (SoCoPoco) I was assigned to Bob to learn the “power business”. I made a lot of mistakes and Bob in his quiet patient way always seem to find a kind word and point me in the right direction. I have retired from the utility business after a 40 year career and attribute what success I have had to the amazing training Bob provided in my early years at SoCoPoCo. Those were some the most enjoyable times in my career. The community and the power business has lost a quiet giant. One of my greatest regrets is that I lost touch with Bob over the years.
