Earl George Reid, Jr., age 87, peacefully passed away on March 17, 2020 in Montville, Ohio. Born May 19, 1932 in Geneva, Ohio to Earl George and Esther (nee: Reed) Reid, Jr. He married Barbara Stochl on June 2, 1956 in Thompson, Ohio. She preceded him in death on January 16, 2012. Earl worked for Diamond Shamrock as an Operations Manager retiring in 1989. He loved his job and enjoyed going to work every day. He was very proud to be a Montville Volunteer Fireman serving there for 25 years. He was very active with the department and the Montville community serving as a Trustee. He enjoyed woodworking for his entire life. He made pens and gave them away freely. He made thousands for the Freedom Pen Project, sending them to troops during the Iraq War. He enjoyed camping and traveling. One of his proudest achievements was taking a Tiger Cruise with his son, who was serving in the Navy on the Battleship New Jersey. He always had a hobby, going from one to another from raising fish to making jewelry, candles, tumbling stones and rocks and doing decoupage. Earl built a greenhouse, growing tons of tomatoes and even built a flat bottom boat on the dining room table, that the whole family took down the Clarion River in Cook Forest, Pa. Earl and Barb built the family home on Leggett Road themselves. He also was very proud of only going to school until the 9th grade, although he did actually earn his GED with honors at age 50.
