Rhoades Assumes Sales Manager Role At MHIA
Frank Reynolds (CONT’D FROM PAGE 14)
Those same qualities also shaped how Reynolds was viewed across the broader corrugated industry. Andy Goettsch, Vice President of Sales at Goettsch International, says those qualities made working with Reynolds both productive and enjoyable. As Goettsch joked when reflecting on their years working together, the friendly rivalry between Reynolds’ Ravens and his Bengals often found its way into their conversations. For Reynolds, however, the most meaningful part of his career has always been the relationships he built along the way. “He’s really going to miss the people,” Karen said. “SUN has been part of our lives for a long time.” Now, after more than three decades with the company, Reynolds is looking forward to spending more time with family. Karen and Frank plan to enjoy time with their chil- dren, Megan and her husband Josh, and Frank and his wife Alexis, along with their grandchildren Caden and Aylee. For someone who has spent a lifetime trying to under- stand how things work, Reynolds ultimately discovered that the most important systems aren’t machines at all. They are the people who build them, support them, and trust each other enough to solve problems together. After more than 30 years at SUN, that may be the lega- cy he leaves behind.
