John A. Reiling, Jr.

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to John Andrew Reiling, Jr. who passed away early Thursday morning, September 7, 2017, at the age of 73 at the Hunterdon Medical Center in Raritan Township NJ. John was raised in Dayton, OH as the second oldest of six brothers and sisters. He met the love of his life, Marilyn Preuss, while at University of Dayton. They recently celebrated 49 happy years of marriage. Throughout his career in Sales and Marketing for office products, he was employed by AB Dick, AR Meeker, Gestetner, Riso, and Ricoh. John and Marilyn were residents of Parsippany, NJ, for over 30 years where they raised their four children. The great joys in his later years were his eleven grandchildren, of whom John was so proud. He could regularly be seen at the grandkids’ sporting events and school performances, and would never fail to mention how talented they all are. He also enjoyed his weekly golf games with friends. He is survived by his loving wife, Marilyn; his daughter, Jennette and her husband Jay McChesney with their children Jordan, James and Joe; his daughter, Tina and her husband Kevin Murphy with their children Jake, Reagan, and Scott; his son, Jack and his wife Nelly Ingraham with their children Chuck and Marty; and his son, Jason and his wife Kara (May) with their children Alex, Carter, and Kate. We will be celebrating a Mass of Christian Burial for John on Monday, September 11th at 1:00 pm at St. Magdalen Church, 105 Mine St, Flemington, NJ. Private interment will be in St. Magdalen Cemetery. Funeral arrangements were under the direction of Holcombe-Fisher Funeral Home, 147 Main Street in Flemington. To know John was to love him.
