He is survived by his loving partner Merle Cogen; his children, Robin (Moss) Cohen (Durham, NC), Philip Livingston (Rehoboth Beach, DE), and Barry Livingston (Buford, GA); his siblings, David (Sheila) Livingston, Barbara (Allen) Bookoff, Bonnie Livingston, and Phyl (Howard) Cherry; by his sister-in-law, Sandy Livingston; his grandchildren, Meredith Cohen, Caitlyn (Kenneth) Case-Cohen, Jared Livingston, Jacob Livingston, and Chloe Livingston; and by his great grandchildren, Ellis, Fern, Alayah, and Lauryn.

Reece attended City College High School in Baltimore and Towson State Teachers College where he was a powerhouse athlete in baseball, basketball and soccer. He was an All-Mason-Dixon conference goaltender for the Towson soccer team, and was inducted into the Towson Hall of Fame in 1975 and the Maryland Soccer Hall of Fame in 2013. Reece coached the University of Baltimore soccer team to its divisional championship in 1963. Reece’s love of sports remained throughout his life, playing recreation league softball, coaching little league baseball and refereeing high school and college basketball. He was an avid Orioles and Colts fan.
Reece’s love of teaching began at Rodgers Forge Elementary School in Baltimore, but his interests quickly switched to the business world. He had a very successful 45 year career in the food and beverage industry, first with Pepsi/Allegheny Beverage Corporation and then Stewart Sandwiches/Squire Foods. He was a man of great integrity, honesty, warmth and humor in both his personal and professional lives.
