NORTH READING — Reginald “Reggie” Adair, Jr., 43, died unexpectedly on October 5, 2018. He fought a long battle with addiction and addiction won.

Reggie was a graduate of North Reading High School, Class of 1994. He was a skilled craftsman who loved seeing the outcome of his projects. He had a relentless desire to help others. Reggie had this way about him to be the class clown. As he got older, he joked; he missed his calling to be a stand up comedian. He loved spending time with his family, especially his son Jacob. He enjoyed playing poker, he was a motorcycle enthusiast and was happy when riding with his crew. Reggie was a dog lover.
