Mr. Reichenbach was born September 16, 1943 in Mt.

Don loved the beach. Some of his fondest memories were the weeks he spent with his family in Sandbridge, Virginia and Duck, North Carolina.  He was a voracious reader it was not uncommon to find him surrounded with books.   A lover of history and education he encouraged his kids and grand kids to read and to make learning new things their life long hobby.  As he entered retirement, Don focused his efforts to grow his faith and relationship with Christ and found fulfillment praying nightly with his daughter Nancye.

Reichenbach, Jr. (Michelle) of Charlotte, NC; brother Charles Reichenbach (Delores) of Staffordsville, KY; and seven grandchildren Lia Reichenbach, Lorelei Franey, the twins Margaux and Kylie Franey, Daniel Hoffman, Jr., Tristan Reichenbach, and Jackson Reichenbach.
