Mr. Reynaldo Hilario Herrera, joined our Lord in His heavenly kingdom on Monday, June 16, 2025.

Reynaldo lived a life marked by service, devotion, and a love for learning. A proud member of the Army Airborne Division, Reynaldo cherished his time in service to the country and carried the values instilled in him throughout his life. He was also a loyal employee to Sears Roebuck and Company for forty years upon retirement. His passion for history was evident in his voracious reading habits and his profound knowledge of the Bible, which he studied diligently. Reynaldo's faith and commitment to his beliefs were foundational to his character. In addition to his academic interests, Reynaldo was an adept deer hunter who was well-known for his skills in tracking and understanding nature. He found peace in the outdoors, where he cultivated a deep appreciation for the world around him along with his children.

Beside Your Bedside

We sat beside your bedside,

our hearts were crushed and sore,

we did our best to the end,

till we could do no more.

in tears we watched you sinking

we watched you fade away,

and though our hearts were breaking,

we knew you could not stay.

you left some aching hearts,

that loved you most sincere;

we never shall and never will ever

forget you, father dear.
