James Lester Reynolds

James was married for 60 years to the late Judith Reynolds. She preceded him in death in November of 2025. He was a graduate of North Allegheny School and graduated tech school for welding. James retired from the Boilermakers Local 154.

In his early years, he raced at local dirt tracks, and won a championship at North Hills Speedway. He loved watching Nascar, especially Dale Earnhardt. He raised beagles and blue tick coon hounds, which him and his best friend hunted with. James was an avid hunter, fisherman, and one of his greatest joys was taking his grand daughter fishing with him.

His grandaughter, Sarah was his pride and joy. For many years he would sit and watch her dance recitals for hours.

He is survived by his daughters Amy (D.J) Peduzzi and Sherry Reynolds; granddaughter Sarah Peduzzi; sisters Millie Cress and Betty Lou McKinney, and countless nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents and wife, he is preceded in death by brothers Herb and Robert and sister Judy.
