Kenneth Reigel

On April 30, 2022, Kenneth Earl Reigel, also known by his CB handle “Beep-Beep“, loving husband and father of five children passed away at the age of 82.  Ken was born December 8, 1939, at Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, son of the late Earl Jonathan and Edna Caroline (Keefer) Reigel.  On May 9, 1959, he married the love of his life, the former Elma Louise Ensinger, who survives.

Ken worked as a coal miner and later as a truck driver for over 45 years. He drove for Clark’s Poultry, Paxinos, Branch Motor Express, Milton, and Yellow Freight, Lancaster and Knoxville, Tennessee. Ken also served as Vice-President of Teamsters Local Union 764 while at Branch Motor Express. He retired from Yellow Freight in 2009.

Ken was active in the church until his wife’s Alzheimer’s care required all his attention.  He enjoyed playing games, family gatherings, and spending time with friends and family.  Ken’s humor, wit, and gift of gab was known to everyone that met him.  His entertaining storytelling was legendary as was his love for people.
