Bill J. Reed, 84, of
Pendleton passed away on
June 25, 2017, in the loving
company of his wife and
children. A memo-
rial service will
be held on Friday,
June 30, 2017, at
10:00 a.m. at Sun
Ridge Retirement
Community, 3234
S.W. Nye Ave. in
Pendleton.
Bill was the
youngest of seven
born to Clarence
and Ethel (Keller)
Reed on November
5, 1932. During his
youth Bill worked
at a local dairy and
after
graduating Reed
from Boone High
School in 1951,
he joined the Navy. During
his time in the Navy he was
stationed in Hawaii and a
short time in Tokyo where
he served on an aircraft
carrier as a postman.
After being honorably
discharged he met and
married and they adopted
two daughters. He moved to
Minnesota to take a desk job
for his employer, he found he
was not an office person and
soon left that for self-em-
ployment as a candy vendor.
The family enjoyed many
vacations together, Bill’s
favorite being Hawaii. He
also enjoyed baseball games,
gambling, golf, fishing and
constructing model airplanes
and cars. Later in his life he
began writing fiction books
(close friends and family
provided much inspiration
for characters).
Once Bill retired he
bought a lake home to share
with friends and relatives.
He also traveled, which
brought him to visit his
sisters in Sun City, Arizona.
Now a single man, it was
during one of these visits Bill
met the love of his life, Jean.
Shortly after meeting her he
proclaimed to his sister that
he was “going to
marry that girl one
day.” On March
10, 1998, in Reno,
Nevada, the two
were wed.
Their
living
arrangements on a
golf course year-
round in Wood-
burn, Oregon, and
Surprise, Arizona,
allowed for the two
to indulge in all the
golf they wanted.
Bill also found a
lot of joy as Jean
played the piano
and sang songs.
They enjoyed all
of the time they were able to
spend together and among
their family and in their
travels together.
He is preceded in death by
four siblings, Charles (Betty)
Reed, Robert (Francis) Reed,
Fearl (Stanley) Richmond
and Marie Seiler.
Bill is survived by his
siblings Donald (JoAnn)
Reed and Marilyn Crohan;
wife Jean (Turner-Runnion)
Reed; children William
(Kelly) Runnion, Steven
(Vicki) Runnion, Todd
Runnion, Janet (Ray) Koch,
Teresa Strong and Barbara
(Adam) Lofgren; 11 grand-
children; five great-grand-
children; and multiple nieces
and nephews.
Contributions in the
memory of Bill may be made
