Mr. Earl Harry Reedy

Earl Harry Reedy, 85, joined his loving wife June with the Lord Tuesday, December 17, 2013. Earl was born January 12, 1928 in Parkesburg, Pennsylvania to Charles Earl Reedy and Dorothy Fisher. Earl was predeceased by his loving wife Lois June, "Mo" to her grandchildren, whom he married in 1948. He is survived by his two sons and daughters-in-law Jeff and Lori Reedy of Raleigh and Kevin and Karen Reedy of Camillus, NY. He was lovingly called “Pop" by his five grandchildren Nolan, Casey, Mallory, Elizabeth, and Samuel. Earl was predeceased also by his only sister Virginia Eavenson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Earl adored his wife June and treasured all their 63 years together. He reveled watching his grandchildren grow up spending many summers at their beach home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. After he served two years in the US Army, Earl and June lived in eight different states as he worked as an electrical engineer with IBM for over 35 years on projects which involved flying on B52s with the Strategic Air Command and the development of the NASA space shuttle. His interests in aviation also lead him to become a private pilot. He had lived in Raleigh since 1992. Earl enjoyed fixing computers, golf, jazz music, playing the clarinet, and savored traveling and years of long walks with June. They enjoyed the last years at and will be dearly missed by their family of friends of the Springmoor Life Care Retirement Community. He was a member of the Asbury United Methodist Church in Raleigh. "Pop" penned a detailed account of his life with "Mo" which was published as 'The Best Investment I Ever Made” to be treasured and shared with his family for generations to come. Overcoming many adversities early in his life, Earl became a rock as the patriarch of the Reedy family and an example of strength, responsibility, kindness, sharing and love for his sons and grandchildren. He will be dearly missed by his family and all who knew him. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 11, 2013 at 11am at Renaissance Funeral Home.
