On September 3, 2024, Kenneth Earl Reynolds, 97, of Vandergrift, PA, was peacefully taken by the Lord while surrounded by his loving family.

A son of the late Lawrence Reynolds and Lillie (Riggle) Reynolds, he was born on April 14, 1927, in Logansport, PA.

As a World War II veteran, Ken proudly served his country overseas in the Philippines.  Along with his son Kenny, Ken served the community for many years as proprietor of Reynolds Plumbing, Heating and Electric.

As avid bowlers, Ken and Babe remained active members of the bowling community since 1959 and were grateful for the many friendships established over the last 65 years.  Ken also enjoyed being outdoors spending time hunting and fishing when time from his busy schedule permitted.

Ken is survived by his wife of 77 years, Loretta “Babe” (Klingensmith) Reynolds; and his five children, Judy Bone (Jeff), Bonnie George (Jeff), Susan Reynolds (Mike Christ), Tracy Ravotti (Mike), and Ken Reynolds Jr. (Dana).

In addition, Ken was blessed with eight grandchildren, Leslie Bone, Jason Bone (Alissa), Kelly Christ Mitchell (Matt), April George McQuillen (Chris), Sean George (Tina), Rachel Ravotti Lauer (Brock), Eric Reynolds, Ryan Reynolds; nine great-grandchildren, Adalyn Bone, Elliana Bone, Kayla Mullins (Colin), Kameron Garrett, Kenlee Garrett, Jordan McQuillen (Natalie), Caitlin McQuillen, and Liliana Lauer (on the way!).
