Obituary

Hubert L. Reeder, Jr., 93, passed away on Thursday, August 15, in Lake Placid, Florida, surrounded by his two surviving children. He was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, later moved to Angola, Indiana, and then on to Fort Wayne, Indiana. He graduated from North Side High School and joined the US Navy as an electronics technician, specializing in radar, where he graduated first in his class. After his discharge from the Navy, he returned to Fort Wayne and later married Barbara Faye Neill, of Columbia City, Indiana. With his Navy training, he was employed by Magnavox, which later became Phillips Corp. After retiring, he and wife Barbara moved to Lake Placid, Florida, where he lived for more than 40 years.  He was preceded in death by his parents, Hubert L. Reeder, Sr. and Estella Marie Whyman Reeder; his beloved wife of more than 50 years, Barbara Faye Neill Reeder; his sons William H. Reeder (Connie), and Paul M. Reeder; and his daughter, Kathleen M. Reeder. He is survived by his sister, Barbara A. Reeder Mauk, (Dwight) Lansing, Michigan; son James D. Reeder (Rebecca), Fort Wayne; and daughter Melody Ann Reeder, Lake Placid; 17 grandchildren scattered across the country, several step-grandchildren, numerous great grand-children, and 5 great-great grandchildren. Hubert spent his retirement years living at a lake in Florida and enjoyed taking visitors out on his boat. For many years he pursued his life-long love of fishing, tinkered with computers and electronics, and spent countless happy hours helping neighbors and friends with tasks large and small. He was loved and respected in his community and by his family. His presence will be missed by all whose lives he enriched.  A Celebration of Life for the family will be held in Fort Wayne in December.
