He sure loved his flashing glasses.

So sorry to hear. Prayers to Patty, Cliff and family. Dick was a great man.

Patty and family my thoughts and prayers are with you all. May God bless you all.

You have lots of memories like his flashing shoes and sunglasses just to name 2 . Keeps those memories close to you heart. May God be with you in this hard time.

We enjoyed and looked forward to having dinner with Dick Reeder on a regular basis because he always stimulated conversations pertaining to world events and how they would impact our daily lives. He shared his interest and insured that everyone was included and their opinions and observations were appreciated. Dicks stories about his WWII military service as a B-20 tail gunner were always entertaining and informative. He took great pride in his military service and his family ...

My family and I are sending much love and many prayers your way. I know that the past few years have been rough on patty, cliff, and for the family. As time moves forward always remember all the memories you had with him, good and bad, our memories are what keep our souls full. Patty I'm so sorry for your loss. I know you have worked so hard at keeping Dick happy, comfortable, and surrounded by love. And I know that he greatly appreciated you. Stay strong. Lean on those you need and remember...

I have one more story about Dick. When He was running all those
5K races into his 70's , I would always ask him on Monday morning
How he did in his race. He would always finish 2nd in his age group,
He said that he just couldn't beat this one older gentleman.

One Monday morning he came in smiling ear to ear and he said he
Won the 5K race that weekend. I said you finally beat that old guy.
He said no, that the old guy died a couple of weeks ago. We...

loved listening to his stories. He was a good man. Rest in peace

Our deepest sympathies to Patty and Cliff and the Reeder family. We will miss Dicks spirited conversations and his positive outlook on life.

I enjoyed your wicked sense of humor. You could jerk someones chain with that twinkle in your eyes, slight grin on your lips and they wouldnt even know you were joking.
Peaceful rest Dick ❤
