Our Parents - The Grandparents

We were blessed with two wonderful sets of parents, Larry and Irene Reid and Dominic and Joan Pentimone. This page is dedicated to them. All of them have passed away, but we are thankful for the long lives they lived. The pictures on the left are Heather's parents, the pictures on the right are Dan's parents.

THE REIDS: Larry and Irene were married for over 66 years. They had a wonderful marriage and raised four children. Heather is the youngest. They were models of a good marriage! Larry was born in South Dakota, and Irene was born in Iowa. We miss them both dearly and are thankful for the many years we had with them. The grandchildren really enjoyed visiting Grandpa and Grandma Reid. Larry died in January of 2021 at the age of 87, and Irene died in January of 2022 at the age of 88. Both are greatly missed.

THE PENTIMONES: Dominic and Joan were married for over 58 years as well. They made it through some difficult times but stayed together. In a day when marriages often end in divorce, they stayed the course and loved each other to the end. Both were born in Chicago. They raised four children also. Dan is the youngest. Sadly, they experienced the loss of their son, Dom Jr, to cancer at the age of 35 in 1991. Joan died in 2011 at the age of 77. She underwent a heart transplant in 2001. Dominic lived to be the oldest of the grandparents. He passed away just 3 days short of his 91st birthday.  Both are greatly missed.
