Colleagues remember former Pinal Sheriff Frank Reyes

Kaye Persinger of Marion, Ohio, — who was known as Kaye Dickson when she ran for Pinal County Sheriff five years ago — said she’ll miss Reyes.
“He was just a great human being. He really related with people, and I think that’s what made him a great sheriff. I don’t think he ever looked at himself as a politician. I don’t think he met too many people he didn’t like.”
Reyes was proud to have once been offered the U.S. Marshal’s position. But “he just didn’t feel like he could let the people of Pinal County down” and he didn’t want to be in Washington, D.C., so far away from his extended family. “So he turned it down and remained the sheriff,” Persinger said.
