Ronald Leroy Reichard

Ronald Leroy Reichard, 74, of Etters, passed away on Saturday, October 28, 2023 in his residence surrounded by his loving family.

Ron was a forklift operator with DDRE, the former New Cumberland Army Depot, Fairview Twp.  He was a member of American Legion Post 974, Fairview Twp. and the Crotch Cannibals Motorcycle Club.  Ron loved Harley Davidson motorcycles and rode for charities benefiting numerous organizations including children’s cancer and autism.  He was mechanically inclined, loved anything having to do with the American Bald Eagle and found great pleasure in acting “goofy”.  But more than anything, he loved spending time with his grandchildren.

Ron was born in Harrisburg, PA, the son of the late Harrison and Betty (Maeder) Reichard.

He is survived by his wife of more than 39 years, Teresa A. (Benson) Reichard; his daughter, Heather Kimberly Bowers (David) of Dover; siblings, Delores Shertzer of Harrisburg, Charlotte Zinn of Newport, Warren Reichard of Etters, Robert Reichard of Harrisburg and Richard Runkle of Coudersport; and two grandchildren, Jovani Palmer and David Bowers, Jr.

A memorial service will be held at 11 am on Friday, November 3, 2023 in Parthemore Funeral Home & Cremation Services, New Cumberland.  Visitation with the family will take place one hour prior to service time in the funeral home.  Burial with military honors will be in Indiantown Gap National Cemetery, Annville.

In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests memorial contributions in Ron’s memory to Pennsylvania Wounded Warrior https://www.pawoundedwarriors.org/
