John Matthew Reeder

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. I know your sweet daddy will be dancing in heaven now. :)

Matt and I were classmates at Phillips and the University of Alabama where we were roommates for four years. After graduation in 1961 we both were both off to the military. Over the next 60 years we slowly drifted apart as I was seldom in Birmingham due to overseas work. Our last get together with he and Pat was for lunch in Italy just prior to the pandemic.

We miss you, Dad!!

A lot of good memories with Matt that I will keep until I see him again.Prayers for his family
