Lifetime BAC Member John Shedd Reed Passed Away
| It is with regret that we learned of John Reed's death on Sunday, March 16th, 2008. Mr. Reed was a long time member of the Transportation Center's Business Advisory Committee as well as one of our loyal Sandhouse Gang Members. We were privileged to have had Mr. Reed's support, association and friendship of over 30 years. Mr. Reed became a member of our Business Advisory Committee in 1975, when he was Chairman & CEO of the Santa Fe. The Transportation Center made Mr. Reed a Life Member of the BAC in 1993 in recognition of his long-time service to the BAC and the Transportation Center. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew and respected him. The obituary printed in the Chicago Tribune is posted here. |
