On Saturday, June 7th, after a lingering battle with lung cancer, Phil Dreyer (72) went to be with Jesus, peacefully at home surrounded by family.
Phil was a lifelong resident of Blendon Township and graduated from Unity Christian in 1970. In 1975 he married the love of his life Maxine, and they had three children. Phil received his skilled trades degree in tool and die at GRCC while working at Alloy-Tech. Phil retired from L-3 Communications in 2020. Phil enjoyed sporting clays, hunting, fishing, camping, traveling, riding his Harley, playing pool, golfing, and doing many of these things with his family whom he loved immensely. He invested in people and made friends everywhere he went. He was a member of Fellowship Reformed Church for 45 years and possessed a quiet personal closeness with his savior.
Phil was preceded in death by his son Jason Robert in 1982. Phil is survived by his wife of 50 years, Maxine, his son Brian (Dawn) Dreyer, his daughter Stephanie (Jordan) Nederveld, his grandchildren, Katelyn, Evan and Madison Dreyer, Sophia, Natalie and Solomon Nederveld, and great granddaughter Stella Dreyer, his sister Bev (Larry) Vanden Bosch, his brother Ed (Diane) Dreyer, his brother-in-law Wes (Cindy) Bell, sister-in-law Kelli (Tom) Ash, and brother-in-law Robb (Rachel) Bell.
