Reg was born on May 1, 1942 in Pottstown to the late Wm. Holland Wunder and the late Lorraine (Lewin) Hunsicker. After graduating from Spring Ford High School in 1960, he became employed by Diamond Glass for a few years, and later found his niche as a Service Technician for Oehlert Brothers Inc. in Royersford. Reg went on to become the Service Department Manager and he retired after 40+ years of service. Also during this time, Reg enlisted in the Army National Guard for six years and served stateside during the Vietnam War.
Reggie had many interests and passions that included being a member of the Royersford Fire Department, where he served as the Royersford Borough Fire Chief for over 25 years. He was an active member of the Humane/Royersford Fire Company and a social member of the Liberty Fire Company. Reg also served as a member of the Royersford Free Masons. An avid outdoor sportsman, Reggie enjoyed hunting and fishing at his “White Deer” Cabin along the White Deer Creek in Union County, PA. Reg also enjoyed many memorable fishing trips with his dad and sons to Quebec, Canada. Reg was a Lionel Train Collector and he proudly shared his passion for trains by displaying his impressive collection in what is affectionately known by his grandchildren as “Pop Pop’s Train Room”.
