Obituary
Richard Perry Reid
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Richard Reid of The Villages, Florida, formerly of Mason, Michigan.
Rich was born in Lansing, MI on August 10, 1945. He passed away peacefully November 7, 2024. He is preceded in death by his loving parents Arsie & Lily Mae Reid.
Rich was a deeply devoted family man and will be dearly missed by his loving wife of 59 years, Linda; his children Julie (Alan) Spalding; Dave (Kim) Reid; grandsons Alex (Virginia) Reid & Ryan Reid; great grandson Elias Reid.
Rich retired from Nabisco after 30 years of dedicated service. He then joined his wife and son in the family owned insurance agency in Mason, MI.
Rich enjoyed playing golf and his many fishing and hunting trips with his son, grandsons and many friends. He was a long standing, active member of The Lions Club of Mason, MI.
The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the staff at The Villages Hospital and the exceptionally compassionate care he received during his short stay at Cornerstone Hospice House in The Villages.
In accordance with Rich’s wishes, no service will be held. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Cornerstone Hospice House, 2445 Lane Park Road, Tavares, FL 32778.
As well, more importantly I remember him standing with us the next morning- being there as a supportive force- almost crying with me, not just as an agent but as a friend.
His long standing support was exactly who he was- a man with the utmost integrity & and a smile a mile wide.
I am sure he belonged to a life well lived as it was well deserved.
My deepest condolences to your family & most
Importantly to Linda.
