Ernest Adrian Reser

RESER, Ernest Adrian, 97, passed away peacefully, on April 29, 2025. 

Ernie (Big Ern) was a wonderful husband and father and the ultimate family man. Whether he was piling the entire family into the 1969 Volkswagen bus for family vacations or hooking the trailer up to a Chevy Suburban he named Thor to take Sheila on adventures across the USA, family was always his first love. Ernie was an avid aviation enthusiast and was a member the Western Ohio Radio Kontrol Society (WORKS) where he served as president for two years. Ernie was also a WWII veteran who proudly served on the USS Jason.

Ernie is survived by his wife of 71 years, Sheila, his “Bunkie” and his five children: Wayne (Malia) Reser, Terri Griffin, Patti (Lee) Cripps, Tim (Eileen) Reser and Stephen (Ruby) Reser. We are all better people, Dad, because of you. We will forever keep you in our hearts. So for now, Dad, soar high on your laughter-silvered wings, put out your hand, and touch the face of God.

Visitation will be held in the Atrium at St. Charles Borromeo from 10 – 11am on Monday May 12 to be followed by Mass at 11am.
