HARRY L. REITER 1939 - 2021
He took the best of himself - his sense of humor,
his love of life, his ability to do for others and injected
it into those around him. That part of him will
never die and can never be taken away.
Thank you for sharing this day with us as we
celebrate the life of Harry Reiter.
He has now joined his Mother and Father, Emily and Harry,
as well as his beloved older sister, Joan Kohn.
He was the cherished husband of 53 years of Peggy, the
enormously proud father of Drew (Rachael) and the over
the moon Poppy of Haven Lea Reiter.
