To The Reber Family -

Just discovered this obituary listing. So sorry to hear about your father's passing. Have some great memories of our time as neighbors and friends together on Willow Way. I know that he will be missed.

The Reber Family-
Thank you for all the years you shared your Husband/Father with us as students. We are so sorry for your loss, you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Mr. Reber's class in 1972

In 1972, Mr. Reber fueled my love for math. I can still hear him sing his hit song “Division by Zero is Impossible!” It stayed #1 on the Fern Hill Top 40 charts for years. And he had some Elvis dance moves to go with it.
And I warmly remember the kindness of the entire Reber family that took me into their home during the summer of 1974 when my brother Kevin was paralyzed. I lived in a room with a squad of Reber boys. I was assigned to the top bunk – a place of honor. And that summer,...

Fern Hill 6th grade 1971

Mrs. Reber,

I was sorry to hear of the loss of Mr. Reber. You may not remember me, but I'm the son of David and Larue Morgan and in the summer of the Watergate hearings I did some work for you around your home. I enjoyed very much the talks with your husband on Watergate and many other issues of the time. He pushed me to think at a deeper level than I was accustom to and for that I was grateful. He made quite an impression on a young 9th grader.

You and your family are in my...

Mr. Reber taught me math in 6th grade at Fugett Middle School in 1985. I remember him telling me that his name was spelled the same forward and backward. I also remember him teaching us about obtuse and acute angles. I never forgot those lessons. Mr. Reber was entertaining and memorable! He was a good man. I hope his family finds peace and comfort in the weeks ahead.

My prayers to the family. Mr. Reber was my 6th grade teacher at Fern Hill in 1968??. He always motivated us with his sense of humor. I will always remember the class trip to Peach Bottom Dam, his favorite spot. Rest in peace Mr. Reber!!

Sorry to hear about Mr. Reber. He had quite an effect on my pursuing the field of engineering and I could not have done it without some of the basics approach he provided me in 6th grade. To this day, I can look at a number and determine what it is divisible by for numbers from 1 to 20.
He had a very positive effect on many of his students and will be very missed. I wish my children had the same relationship I had with him for their teachers.

Mr. Reber was my teacher at Fern Hill in 1974-75. This was the last year 6th grade was still on the elementary level. He helped to guide my love of math, for which I will always be grateful. I remember the stash of root beer barrels he kept in his desk. I think Chris was in my class, too. God bless you all.
