Robert Raymond Reuss, Jr., 76 of Fennville, Michigan, passed away Thursday, February 3, 2022, at his home surrounded in love from his wife and daughters while listening to his favorite oldies tunes. Born June 27, 1945, in Chicago, Illinois, he was the son of the late Robert Sr. and Diana (Paravich) Reuss and the husband of Rhonda (Blankenship) Reuss.
