A Heartfelt Tribute to Lester Reed, a True Findlay Ohio Legacy
We recently bade farewell to a genuine soul and a vital member of the Findlay, Ohio community, Lester H. Reed. Lester, a proud Ohio State Buckeyes fan and a respected entrepreneur of Findlay Quality Collision, left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate to cross paths with him.
Remembering Lester: The Man Behind Findlay Quality Collision
Lester’s journey began on October 4, 1949, in Toledo, Ohio. His career span across many years saw him flourish from a dedicated mechanic to a district service manager in Chicago. Eventually, the siren call of family and community led him back to Ohio, laying the foundations of Findlay Quality Collision with his wife, Linda. Over 23 years, their business thrived, much like the life Lester led – full of purpose, love, and accomplishment.
A Family Man and an Outdoorsman at Heart
Above all, Lester’s life was a testament to the power of family. A loving husband, father, grandfather, and brother, his happiest moments were those spent in the company of his loved ones. Whether it was playing board games, enjoying outdoor activities like camping and fishing, or cheering on the Ohio State Buckeyes, Lester embraced every moment with open arms and a beaming smile.
Legacy of Kindness
Lester’s generosity knew no bounds. From spoiling his grandchildren to supporting his family and friends, he lived a life full of giving. His love for exploration and the outdoors, coupled with his enthusiasm for sports and good food, made every gathering memorable. His role as an ardent Ohio State Buckeyes fan also brought joy and excitement to those around him during every game season.
