Jeffrey W. Reynolds, of Little Rock, passed away on June 20, 2020. Jeffrey was born on September 19, 1951, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Jeffrey received his undergraduate degree from Case Western Reserve University, and graduate degrees from both Carnegie-Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, Katz Business School.
He worked in numerous capacities for North Pittsburgh Telephone Company and ALLTEL Telephone Service Corporation for decades. He was a principal with Reynolds Schultheis Consulting since 2007.
Jeffrey was respected nationally for his knowledge of economic, financial and policy issues affecting the telecommunications industry. Among his many contributions, Jeffrey served on committees of the United States Telephone Association and as member of the Board of Directors of the National Exchange Carrier Association. But Jeff, as he was known to colleagues and friends, was more than this expertise. Jeff’s quick wit, intellect and integrity were well known and admired by those fortunate to know him. He was a loving father and grandfather, and he was a one-of-a-kind presence who will be greatly missed but fondly remembered.
Survivors are his daughter, Erin Cowger (Cody) of Rogers; grandson, Bennett Timothy Cowger of Rogers; sister, Janet Guardino (Lou) of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; niece, Jennifer Guardino Albert (Michael) of Wilmington, North Carolina; father-in-law, John Perdzock of Conway. He was preceded in death by his parents, Dorothy and George Reynolds and son, Timothy Reynolds.
