Clyde 'Junior' Pfautz, Jr.

Clyde 'Junior' R. Pfautz Jr., 87 of Reinholds, passed away Monday September 20, 2021, at the Lancaster General Hospital. Born and raised in Reamstown, he was a son of the late Clyde R. and Anna Mae (Hoover) Pfautz and was the devoted husband of 67 years to Betty A. (Pierce) Pfautz until her passing a year ago. Junior was proud to be a veteran of the U.S. Army. He loved classic cars and antique tractors, often taking his 1927 Chevy to car shows. While growing up he drove truck for his dad, handling and selling produce at the farmers markets. Formerly, he owned his own gas station & garage in Reinholds, and he worked at the Cocalico School Dist., managing all their maintenance projects. He was a hard worker and held various jobs over the years at the Weaver's Markets bakery, Dorma, Greenlawn, Greenlea Eggs, Wengers Feed Mill, and Reinholds Lumbers. Junior was skilled and talented carpenter; he could make anything out of wood. More than a jack-of-all trades, he had a knack for fixing anything and he was always willing to try something new. Junior loved being a father and even more, loved being a grandfather and great grandfather. He was a wealth of knowledge, just enough of a risk taker, and an example of applied common sense that made him the balanced and solid man he was. Junior is survived by his daughter, Kathy Behrendt (Clifford L. Jr.) of Denver; his son, Ron Pfautz (Tracy Weidenhammer) of Reinholds; two grandchildren, Jennifer Zeni (Adam), Kimberly Franck (James); four great grandchildren, Evan Zeni, Addison Zeni, Charlotte Fanck, Camden Franck; four sisters, Thelma Weaver, Mary Gonzalez (Joe), Arlene Hartraft, & Paulene Ludwig. He was predeceased by three brothers, Eugene Pfautz, Larry Pfautz, John Pfautz. A viewing will be held Fri., Sept. 24th from 7 to 9 p.m. at Good Sipler Funeral & Cremation Centre, 34 N. Reamstown Rd., Reamstown (Stevens), Pa. The funeral will be Sat., Sept. 25th at 10 a.m. also at the funeral home. Interment will immediately follow at Swamp Cemetery, Reinholds.
