CLAIR R. 'PETE' REFFNER

On the evening of Wednesday, Feb. 24, 2021, Clair "Pete" R Reffner of Dillsburg died peacefully at his home, at the age of 90.

He was born to Chester and Gertrude in Roaring Spring in 1930. He was a member of the Air Force from 1951 through 1955 and a proud veteran of the Korean War. Pete was an accomplished, self-taught organist even though he could not read music. He played for the Sunday services at the Mount Pleasant Church of God where he was a member. He also liked tending to his garden, feeding the birds in the area, and telling a good story.

Pete was preceded in death by his father, Chester, and mother, Gertrude, and also his four sisters: Florence, Violet, Helen, and Francelia.

He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Phyllis, and stepson, Ray Henz, as well as two grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Due to the current pandemic, no public memorial services will be held. We will provide a live-stream of the memorial service on Thursday, March 4, at 2 p.m. via his Facebook profile (https://www.facebook.com/clair.reffner) for the family and friends of Pete. It will be made public so those who don't have a Facebook account can still view the service. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Cancer Research Institute.
