Reyster wrote a letter to his family
{{blockquote|“I have seen the value of helping others. I believe that the most rewarding part of my job as a broadcaster is not exposing the wrongdoings of others,
but the smile and acknowledgment we get people whose lives we have touched and changed in some wonderful way.”}}
