Jack Jerome Reisner, 102, passed away peacefully at his home in Independence, MO surrounded by his loving family.
Family will greet friends on Monday, April 27, from 6-8:00pm, at Speaks Suburban Chapel, 18020 E. 39th St. in Independence. A funeral service will be held on Tuesday, April 28, 2015, at 2:00pm, at Raytown Christian Church, 6108 Blue Ridge Blvd., Raytown, MO, 64133. He will be laid to rest with full military honors following the funeral at Mt. Moriah Cemetery.
Jack was born on January 28, 1913, the middle child of 7, to Edward and Ella Reisner, in Kansas City, MO. He was a Sergeant in the Army during World War II. Later he worked in the grocery business, but found his passion at the age of 40 with Farmers Insurance as an Agent/District Manager.
He was a 32nd Degree Mason and a longtime member of Raytown Christian Church. He was a true saint as a husband, father, and grandfather. Jack lived every day to the fullest, remained positive and patient at all times, and will be remembered as an excellent example for his grandkids. “Momo,” as he was known, is profoundly loved and will be missed. Survivors include his dear wife of 21 years, Ruby; grandson, Eric (Aimee) Reisner; granddaughter, Angela (John) Candiano; daughter-in-law, Barbara Reisner; great-grandchildren: Joe, Marissa, Collin, and Olivia; many nieces and nephews; and several loved ones of Ruby’s extended family.
He was preceded in death by his first wife, Ruth Reisner; son, David Reisner; and six siblings.
The family wishes to thank Crossroads Hospice for their wonderful care and for treating Jack like family; contributions may be made to Crossroads Hospice in his memory.
Six words may summarize his secret to a long life: “A good, clean livin’ makes Jack.”
