After retirement, he worked for T&C Remolding, proving he could still out labor men half his age. And finally, he began his most important and cherished role - being the greatest Pappy there ever was. Reid enjoyed all sports, especially playing basketball alongside his children, friends, and the generations of younger, taller men left in awe of his unblockable floater. He was an avid outdoorsman - A legendary bowhunter who's favorite passed time was being amongst the trees. His greatest achievement was his children and grandchildren. Dear Brother of Robert Yannacci, Candy Selvoski (Sonny Palcie), Crystal Aiken, Charmaine Chrobak, Roland (Kim Timlin). The late Pagan Batson and Royce Yannacci. In Laws: Thomas (Jody) Dykins, Jerry (Mary) Dykins, Casey (Becky) Dykins, & Alyce Moore. Also survived by many beloved Nieces & Nephew. He was a unparalleled man, friend, father, and influence on the many that simply knew him as Uncle Reid. Family and Friends are welcome between 2 to 7 p.m. on Friday, August 9 @ Pittsburgh Cremations & Funeral Care, 3287 Washington Road, McMurray, PA for a Memorial Service gathering.

Our deepest sympathies go out to the Yannaci Family. Reid was a friend that I will dearly miss. Remember the times we had playing basketball at the BCAC, Ellsworth and Bentleyville courts when we younger and the lasting friendship we had. Yes, Reid had the best floater shot that no one could block! My friend, rest in peace.

Reid graduated with my wife in 1973. He and my wife were "Limbo King and Limbo Queen" at a senior function before graduation. I played basketball with Reid about 5-6 days a week from 1974-1978 at Richardson´s Park in Bentleyville. He was always in superior shape. He had a pleasant demeanor and had a great sense of humor. May God bring comfort to all who cherish his memory.
