Part 3/6:
Reic expressed not only the personal grief of losing his home but also a profound sense of loss for the community fabric that was woven through shared spaces and experiences. He reminisced about the neighborhood — the parks, the schools, and the community center — all of which played pivotal roles in their daily lives. The recreation center was a particular focal point for the family, filled with memories of basketball games, flag football, and playdates. The loss of such a communal hub echoed the broader loss felt by many in Pacific Palisades, which now lies in ruins.
