Robert Earl Reeder
Robert Earl Reeder, known affectionately as Bob to his friends and family, passed away peacefully on August 6, 2024, in Kokomo, Indiana. Born on July 25, 1934, in Chicago, Illinois, to Harold and Anna Reeder, Bob's warm smile and generous spirit were a blessing to all who knew him.
Bob's life was marked by his unwavering kindness and thoughtfulness, traits that endeared him to many throughout his journey. He was a devoted family man, survived by his loving children, Christina Earlywine (David), Larry James (Tina), AJ James (Marcia), and Debbie Morris. Bob's legacy of love continues through his cherished grandchildren, Barbie Busch, Allen James, Christina James, Shen James, Blake James, and Joseph Buzalski, and his adored great-grandson, Larry Busch.
Bob was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Mary "Billie" Reeder, his daughter Sherri Reeder, his parents, four brothers, and one sister. His family takes comfort in knowing that he has been reunited with his loved ones in eternal peace.
Throughout his career, Bob was a steadfast and reliable presence. He dedicated many years of service as a Security Guard with Pinkerton Security and later worked at the Carpet Mills in Georgia. His colleagues knew him as a man of integrity and commitment, qualities that he brought to every aspect of his life.
Bob's interests and hobbies brought joy not only to him but also to those around him. He was an avid player of dominos, often found enjoying the game with friends and family. His strategic mind was also put to use playing Mahjong on the computer, where he could often be found challenging himself with the intricate puzzles of the game. Bob's adventurous spirit shone through his love for his 3-wheeled bicycle, which he rode all over town, greeting neighbors and making new friends along the way.
Those who knew Bob would describe him as friendly, kind, and thoughtful. He had a natural ability to make others feel seen and heard, and his presence was a source of comfort and joy. Bob's life was a testament to the power of simple acts of kindness and the deep impact they can have on the world.
As we bid farewell to Bob, we celebrate a life well-lived, full of love, laughter, and cherished moments. His memory will live on in the hearts of those he touched, and his example of kindness and generosity will continue to inspire us all.
Bob's life will be honored and remembered in a private ceremony attended by his family and close friends. His spirit will forever be a guiding light to those he leaves behind, and his story will be told with fondness and admiration for generations to come. Rest in peace, dear Bob, until we meet again.
