David L. Reynolds

David L. Reynolds, 76, of Linesville began his next journey Thursday, March 19, 2015, at Rolling Fields in Conneautville with his loving family by his side.

Born March 13, 1939, in Meadville, he was the son of Park and Edna Smith Reynolds.   He married Carol A. Tovey on February 26, 1959 in Winston-Salem, NC.

David was a 1957 graduate of Linesville High School.  As a youth he worked at the family sawmill with his Dad and brothers.  He started his career working as an operator for the Pennsylvania Department of Highways and ended his career working at Rockwell International in Ashtabula where he retired in 1988.  He attended Linesville United Methodist Church.

David was a very practical man who enjoyed fixing small engines, welding and building trailers, as well as being outdoors cutting wood, maintaining his lawn, hunting, and playing with his German Shepherds.  He was a master at repurposing things before recycling was popular. He cherished his children and grandchildren and loved spending time with them and teaching them useful life skills.
