Symbolism
Arms
Red is the colour of Mr. Reamey’s university, Wabash College, with which he remains active. The gothic arches allude to the west façade of Rheims Cathedral in France, from which the name Reamey is likely derived. The fleurs-de-lis refer to his French ancestry, and the martlet resembles the swallow-tailed flycatcher, the state bird of Oklahoma, where Mr. Reamey grew up.
Crest
The redbud tree is the state tree of Oklahoma and thus furthers the imagery of Mr. Reamey’s home state; furthermore, its Latin name, Cercis canadensis, connects it to his adoptive home of Canada. The beehive, a symbol of industry and careful stewardship, refers to Mr. Reamey’s career in investing and wealth management.
