The death of a Baylor legacy
A part of Baylor history died last week. The man who served as president of the university during my years there in 1987-1991 died Friday. I remember a shirt that I wanted and never bought. It was something along the lines of the Three Hs of Baylor: Herb, HEB and Humidity. We had the HEB grocery chain there and the humidity was icky. Great shirt.
Here is part of Herb's obit. The rest can be found on the Baylor site. He will be sorely missed.
Baylor University President Emeritus Herbert H. Reynolds, the 11th president of Texas' oldest continuously operating university, died suddenly May 25 in Angel Fire, N.M. He was 77.
Funeral services for Reynolds will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, May 30, at First Baptist Church of Waco, 500 Webster Ave. Burial will follow at Oakwood Cemetery in Waco.
Dr. Reynolds' body will lie in repose at Wilkirson-Hatch-Bailey Funeral Home, 6101 Bosque Blvd. in Waco, until 3 p.m. Tuesday, May 29. His body will lie in repose later Tuesday from 4 to 9 p.m. at the Paul Powell Chapel at George W. Truett Theological Seminary on the Baylor campus.
Baylor officials are working with the Reynolds family to finalize plans for a campus-wide celebration of the life and contributions to Baylor University of Dr. Reynolds. Those plans will be finalized in the coming days.
In lieu of flowers, the Reynolds family has requested that memorials be made to the Baylor Alumni Association, One Bear Place #97116, Waco, TX 76798-7116.
Funeral services for Reynolds will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, May 30, at First Baptist Church of Waco, 500 Webster Ave. Burial will follow at Oakwood Cemetery in Waco.
