Charles W. Reiter
September 15, 1922–November 27, 2016
Charles W. Reiter, 94, of Pueblo passed away peacefully on Nov. 27th, 2016. He was an active member of Park Hill Baptist Church where he was the Treasurer and a Deacon for many years. He was a retired rural letter carrier, a former member of the Pueblo Masonic Lodge and the Elks. Charles enjoyed bowling with his two league teams, Broncos football, and tending to the gorgeous roses in his garden. However, most of all Charles enjoyed his family and friends.
Charles is preceded in death by his parents, wife Margaret, wife Frances, brother Frank, sister-in-law Doris, cousin Rose Parks, as well as Linda Speedy (Ron) and Ray Patti.
He is survived by his children, David (Carolyn) of Pueblo and Charla Ann (Jesse) Lackey of Laguna Hills, CA; four grandchildren Scott (Kimberly) and Cindy Reiter; Jennifer (Aaron) Moore and Bethany Lackey; 8 great-grandchildren Arik, Jayson, Seth, Stephanie, Charles, Lance, Aly and Brady plus numerous nieces and nephews.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Charles W. Reiter a little over two years ago in recognition of his 50 years of membership in the Colorado Rural Letter Carrier’s Association. His time with the USPS was a little longer having started as a Clerk and City Carrier before being appointed to Rural Route 1 in Pueblo, where he worked his entire Rural Carrier career. When I talked with Charles, January 2015, he had been retired for as many years as he had been employed with the USPS, but he maintained his membership with the CORLCA. I can not say that I knew Charles, but the very brief time I talked with him, his spirit for life and the enjoyment he took for his family and friends and community was quite evident and an admirable quality for all of us to attain in our own lives. The article about Charles W. Reiter can be found in Vol. 44, Issue 1, February 2015, of the Colorado Rural Letter Carrier.
