Robert Reynolds
Robert Eugene "Bob" Reynolds, 74, of Celina, formerly of South Bend, IN, passed away on Thursday, June 20, 2024 at Roselawn Manor after a short battle with cancer.
Bob was born on January 3, 1950 in Portland, IN and grew up in Jay County, IN and Mercer County, OH areas. After serving in the Army, he began his career in the transportation fuels industry, founding his own company in 1986. He was active in setting fuel standards with ASTM International and was a three-time recipient of the organization's Award of Excellence. He was a recognized expert on renewable fuels and, in 2015, received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Renewable Fuels Association.
Bob was an avid motorsports fan, both as a spectator and participant. He raced SCCA road courses and also crewed. He was also a passionate Notre Dame football fan. He was engaged in civic activities and was the charter president of Bremen (IN) Dollars for Scholars, a two-time president of Bremen Lions Club, as well as a member of the American Legion.
Bob is survived by his daughter, Kimberly (Alan) Rader; granddaughters, Audrey and Vivian Rader; step-mother, Betty Reynolds; brothers, Mark (Shannon) Barber, Ron (Teresa) Reynolds and Randy Godwin; sisters, Donna (Bob) Snow, Lorisa (Dave) Young, and Kelli (Denny) Picket. He is preceded in death by his parents, Donald Eugene "Gene" Reynolds and Joyce Arline Godwin.
A celebration of life service will be held later this summer. Memories may be shared and viewed by visiting www.baylifffuneral.com. Thomas E. Bayliff Funeral Home in Spencerville is caring for Bob and his family.
