Paul Ferdinand Reeths

Paul was born to May (Hite) and Ferd Reeths in 1953, He lived his life in Muskegon. He received a degree in Philosophy from Grand Valley but when asked what he got at college he would say, "an education." Paul did the "best thing of his life" by marrying Diane Farran in 1981; they met playing husband and wife in a play at Muskegon Community College. Over the decades, Paul appeared on the community theater stage in Muskegon, Whitehall, and Grand Haven. Paul spent 37 working years at Muskegon UPS. In his retirement,

Paul traveled with Diane all around the United States, volunteered in Diane's classroom, and hiked every trail possible at Muskegon State Park. Paul loved to talk politics and history to anyone who stood still long enough to listen and he read every book he could get his hands on. If Paul got to your new car before you, WBLV would be the number 1 radio preset. Paul volunteered with the Friends of the Frauenthal and Kids' Food Basket.

He loved his daughters, Elizabeth and Jennifer (so much that he volunteered at R-P band camp for 7 summers), his son-in-law Steve Heier, and his wonderful granddaughter Grace. Paul was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife, children, and grandchild; sisters-in-law Nancy Hawrysz, Betty Hall, Linda (Bob) Davidson, Janet Farran; Aunts Reenie Cooper and Mamie Cooper; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
