Richard "Rick" Hadley Reahard

Richard “Rick” H. Reahard, 72, died peacefully on Thursday, October  21, 2021 after a twelve-year battle with cancer.  Born on April 14, 1949 to Ralph M. and Barbara (Hadley) Reahard, Rick grew up in Indianapolis spending summers at Waycross Episcopal Summer Camp and Culver Military Academy.  Rick enjoyed scouting and became an Eagle Scout.  He graduated from Park School in 1967, Indiana University (Sigma Chi) in 1971, and received an MBA from Butler University in 1975.

After managing four retail clothing stores (Just Jeans) in the early/mid 1970’s,  Rick worked in sales and management for Pearson Ford, Tom Wood Ford, and RCI Corporation before starting his own business, Telecom Resources. 

Rick was a founding member of the Hoosier Backgammon Club and enjoyed playing locally and traveling for tournaments.  An avid golfer, Rick was a member of Highland Country Club (where he was fortunate to have scored a “hole-in-one”) and the Leland Country Club.

Like his parents and siblings, Rick enjoyed spending his summers in Leland MI…the Land of Delight.

Survivors include his wife Becky; his daughters, Amanda (Mike) Rizzari, and Amy (Kevin) Stutey; and his step-daughters, Rachael (Andrew) Sawyer, Madison (Chris) Perry, and Ellee Moyer.  Also surviving are his siblings: Joan (Charles) Bennison, Ralph “Bo” (Stanley) Reahard, and Tom (Cathy) Reahard; five grandchildren; two step-grandchildren; seven nieces and nephews; and eleven great-nieces and nephews.

Services will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, October 27, 2021 at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church (6050 N. Meridian Street, Indianapolis) with private burial to follow.
