Ronnie E. Reisinger, 74, passed away on February 28, 2019. He was born in Champaign County, Ohio on August 8, 1944 to the late Howard and Margaret (Harris) Reisinger. He was the loving husband of Teresita (Delarosa) Reisinger.
He is survived by his wife of Rogers; son, Lonnie (his wife Shelley) and their children, Austin and Emmie of Springdale; siblings, Linda Merricks, Wilbur Reisinger, Leroy Reisinger, Deanie Ballew, Gary Reisinger, Polly Hill all of Ohio and Christina Wiseman of Florida.
Ron was a devoted husband to his wife of 52 years. Together with Teresita (Tessie), they moved around the globe serving our country and the US Army as a Civil Servant in Korea, Germany, Texas, Georgia, and Michigan. His job provided him an opportunity to see much of the world from the Middle East, Far East, and much of Europe.
He finally retired as a Logistics Assistance Representative (Civil Servant) for the Tank Armament and Automotive Command (TAACOM); he was a specialist in maintaining and upgrading all different types of military vehicles from tanks to wheeled vehicles. Ron had previously retired from the US Army, where he worked on military vehicles. He was also Vietnam Veteran from ’66-’67, where he was a member of the 584th Engineering Company, the “Wooly Bullies”.
He moved to Arkansas to be near his son, and family, in the last few years of his life. He relished his time with his grandchildren, listening to their stores about Boy Scouts, school activities, and basketball games. Ron was a constant tinkerer with mechanical things, always having some type of “project” to work on; keeping his mind occupied and hands busy whether it was with an edger that someone had left for the trash or a lawnmower that the neighbor was having trouble with. He was also constantly on the quest for a 2nd go-kart project to fix up for the two grandchildren, his Buddy and Princess!
Ron will be dearly missed by his wife, son and family, his brother and sisters, and brother and sister in-laws who called him “Old Man” even though he was only a few years older than them. He was a decent and honorable Christian man, who loved his family, and took his big brother responsibilities seriously. Rest in Peace Ron, we will see you again in Heaven, one day!
