The Boy Scout Oath of duty to God and country was the cornerstone of Reed Schroeder's life.
As an Army combat infantryman during World War II, Mr. Schroeder was wounded during the invasion of Normandy.
"My father lost an eye in that battle, but he never let any adversity keep him from achieving his goals," said his son, J. Howison Schroeder of Sewickley, president and CEO of Neuro Kinetics Inc. "Dad often said he did his duty for his country and was ready to take on the next challenge."
A. Reed Schroeder of Sewickley Heights, president and co-founder of Schroeder Industries in Leetsdale, died on Friday, March 25, 2011, in Sewickley Valley Hospital. He was 88.
