Ronald Robert Reiter
1942-2002
BUENA VISTA: Mr. Ronald R. Reiter, 60, died on
Wednesday, October 23 at the Jackson-Madison County
General Hospital from complications of heart surgery.
Funeral services were conducted on Saturday, October 26
at 2:30 p.m. at the Holy Family Catholic Church with
Father Edward Fisher officiating.
Mr. Reiter was born July 26, 1942 in Streator, Illinois.
His father, Robert Alfred Reiter, preceded him in death.
He was a retired shopping supervisor for Norandal USA
Inc., a Vietnam veteran, serving in the U.S. Air Force
Weather Service and being stationed in Mekong Delta.
Since his retirement from Norandal four years ago, Ron
was proud of his new role as family chef. He would watch
the Food Channel, and loved to make up menus for the
entire month at a time. He even liked doing grocery
shopping. He enjoyed gardening and making wine and jams
with the fruit from his garden. He also began to do
substitute teaching, and after one day with a class, he
would refer to the students as "my kids." He was
excellent in math and was often told that he should have
been a math teacher. He was gifted in explaining math
and being patient with those challenged by the subject.
Ron's other passion was bird watching. He seemed to have
an eagle's eye for seeing the smallest bird, and it was
a wonder how he could remember all their names.
Sometimes his family through he was inventing the
incredibly exotic names. Then he would prove himself by
showing their names in his field guide.
Survivors include his wife, Sharon Cabral Reiter, whom
he married on November 14, 1964; his mother, Verneal
Reiter of Paxton, Illinois; two sons, Ronald R. (Amanda)
