Leo Reizer Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Sep. 26 to Oct. 1, 2023.
Spartanburg - Leo J. Reizer, 87, of Spartanburg, SC, passed away peacefully on September 25th, surrounded by his family and loved ones. Leo grew up in Lakewood, New Jersey, a town he lived in with his wife, Edwina, and their two sons, John and Steven, for most of his life. Leo worked at Jersey Central Power & Light Company before retiring in 1993. In his retirement, Leo became an avid fisherman and could be found regularly fishing on the Jersey shore. Leo was a great father and husband and served in the US Army from 1959 to 1961. In his later years, he and his wife split time living in New Jersey and the Upstate of South Carolina to be close to their two sons. Leo will be dearly missed and always remembered.

Leo was predeceased by his wife, Edwina Reizer; father, Joseph Reizer; mother, Anna Reizer; sister, Mary Reizer; and brother, Michael Reizer. He is survived by his brother Joseph Reizer, sons Steven and John Reizer, and grandchildren Olivia, Kayla, and Jackson Reizer.

Leo requested a celebration of life be held in his honor instead of traditional funeral services. The celebration will take place at the St. Mary of the Lake Cemetary in Lakewood, New Jersey, at a time to be announced later.
