Raymond Glen Reil was born March 31, 1935 on a cold winter day at the old Sterling Archer place east of Tofield.  He passed away in the early morning of August 2, 2024 at the age of 89.

Left to mourn are his wife of 63 years, Diane (Schacher), son Brenton (Maureen), daughter Tracy (Michael) Herklotz, grandsons Owen and Evan, and sisters Dorothy Kuhns of Lincoln, NE and Vivian Eyster of Thomas, OK.  He was predeceased by his parents, John and Elvera, brother Dennis, and sister Violet Helgeland.

Glen grew up on the farm and was proud to be a farmer. He tried his hand at road construction as a paver, and as a cab driver in the late 50's, but returned to the farm shortly before getting married and settled back into farm life.

Glen's common sense and mechanical ingenuity often manifested in improvements to his machinery and farming practices.

Anyone who knew Glen understood that hunting and fishing were his most beloved pastimes. In fact, his old Ford knew the way to Beaver Lake all by itself!

A sense of humor and a love of people defined the way he interacted with others. His faith in Jesus Christ was strong and firm. We rejoice in this and know Glen is at peace.

A memorial service will be held on Thursday, August 8, 2024 at 1 p.m. at Bardo Lutheran Church Tofield, 5609 48 St. Inurnment to take place at Tofield Cemetery at a later date.
