Reginald's life came to a close at the age of 74, surrounded by the comforts of his home in Ryde, Isle of Wight, a place he had called his own since the late 1980s. It was during this period that he dedicated a significant amount of his time and energy to various local charitable endeavors, with a particular focus on Haylands Farm, a pioneering project designed to support young individuals with learning difficulties, as well as the local branch of MENCAP, a renowned organization dedicated to promoting the welfare and inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities.
Reginald's passing leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion, as he is survived by his cherished wife, Rosemary Murray, a former actress, as well as their two daughters, Rebecca and Alison, and their two sons, Adam and Alexander. Additionally, he is also survived by his children from his first marriage, John and Kate.
