Reginald Joler Obituary

WATERVILLE - Reginald G. Joler, of Waterville, passed away peacefully in his sleep on July 24, 2019 after battling Alzheimer's disease. He was born on Feb. 12, 1932 to Leo and Evangeline Joler.

Reginald lived a full and rich life. He was a graduate of Waterville High School and was drafted into the Army during the Korean War. He proudly served from 1952 to 1954 in Germany; he was honorably discharged. After returning to the United States Reginald began working for First National until he retired. He had a passion for talking with people and readily offered his assistance to anyone in need. Reginald had a love of The Lord, camping, boating, fishing, building, tree work, western's, dancing and spending time with family.

Reginald was a lifetime member of the American Legion, VFW and Knights of Columbus, where he served on many committees, cooked meals for those in need and assisted with blood drives and voting stations.

He was predeceased by his parents Leo and Evangeline; the love of his life Patricia; son David; brothers, Gerald, Richard, Paul, and sisters Joanne and Doris.

Reginald is survived by his children MaryAnn and husband Sonny, Sue-Ann, Rick, Bryan and partner Karen and Bruce and wife Kristin, stepson Robert; as well as several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

We would like to thank the staff at Woodlands Memory Care Unit in Waterville and the staff of Beacon Hospice for their constant care and diligence.

"When those we love have left this earth, we can still feel them near, we'll see a picture, hear a song, and it's just like they are here, and when we call upon our Faith, when we believe and trust the ones we care about are always close to us."

Thank you...for all the memories.
