Floyd Reichert
Floyd “Carl” Reichert, age 72, of Painesville, passed away Feb. 10, 2025.
Carl was born to George and Doris (nee Thompson) Reichert (both deceased). His two brothers, George and Dennis, and stepmother, Virginia Reichert, are also deceased.
Carl grew up in Geauga County before moving to Lake County in 2013. He attended Chardon High School, class of 1970.
In 1979, Carl married Carol (nee Prosser) Reichert and they were happily married 45 years. Carl and Carol have three grown children, Cory (Marla), Erica and Kevin (Stephanie), and three beautiful granddaughters whom he loved and cherished, Ana, Mackenzie and Madelyn.
Besides his immediate family, he leaves behind his sister-in-law, Laura Prosser and family; and many friends and coworkers he’s made over the years.
Carl worked for Universal Disposal and then Waste Management, retiring in 2023 after 50 years. After retiring, his family knew he couldn’t sit still and he got a part-time job at Wilder’s Mobile Home Park in Chardon.
He worked with some terrific guys but unfortunately had to give it up after his cancer diagnosis in September 2024. Carl fought a very hard battle in just a short time and met some of the most compassionate healthcare workers along his journey.
Our family would like to thank Seidman Cancer Center in Mentor, downtown Seidman, UH Home Care, Hospice of the Western Reserve – Mentor team, and finally the David Simpson Hospice House in Cleveland, all of which were absolutely wonderful to Carl and all of us.
Per Carl’s wishes, there will be no calling hours.
Thank you to everyone who visited, sent cards, provided meals, sent comforting texts, and for his special blanket from Tiffany that we will with snuggle in for years to come.
