Alan D. Reiter, 69, of downtown Easton, passed from this life into the next on Tuesday, April 28, 2026 at St. Luke’s Hospital, Fountain Hill. Born in Keenesburg, CO, he spent most of his formative years in St. Louis, MO, where he attended St. Louis University High School, and spent several summers working as a cook on tow boats on the Mississippi River to help pay for his tuition in high school and college. He attended Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX , and later received a master’s degree in international management from Thunderbird School of Global Management in Phoenix, AZ.
Alan then enjoyed a long and successful career in international banking, which required him to travel around the world. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, he lived in London while employed by the Bank of Nova Scotia in England, and he additionally toured Europe extensively during this time. A polyglot who also spoke German and Russian, he also went to Russia in 1987 and 1992, visiting Moscow, the Volga, and multiple Russian cities with close friends and a host of Russian rock bands.
A lifelong musician who played violin, mandolin, guitar and piano, in retirement, he enjoyed cooking, baking, and breadmaking, and collected the vintage film cameras of his adolescent dreams. He could be seen from time to time in downtown Easton when inspiration struck, photographing the local architecture and any other scenes that struck his fancy.
Predeceased by his parents, Henry and Clara (Leis) Reiter, and brother, Dean Reiter, Alan is survived by his wife, Christina A. Georgiou, of Easton, a sister, Jeanne Steinbrueck (Phil Burg), and nieces Christy Steinbrueck and Jessica Steinbrueck, all of Kansas City, MO. Additionally, he is mourned by his beloved feline companions, Althea, Trinity, and Maria Isabella Magdapurr, along with friends too numerous to mention scattered across the country.
A private gathering of family and friends will be held on the evening of Saturday, June 27 to celebrate his life. Offer online condolences at www.AshtonFuneralHome.com.

You will be missed my friend. I will miss the sharing of friendship and a good bottle of single malt scotch on my front porch when you came to Saint Louis. You were a joy to be around.
You will remain in my memories forever.

Believe me when I say “losing a life long friend really sucks!”.How can I feel such a void with all the memories I carry? Just never enough time. Thanks for being a true co life traveler. I will see you in the stars above…..

Alan leaves behind a legacy of friendship, love, wit, intelligence, and a love of music, all of which he selflessly shared with all his family and friends. Too much of each to ever be repaid in kind.
And while we never got to say a proper goodbye, I cannot be sad because I feel there was nothing left unsaid.
I can only take the joy Al shared with us and reflect it back to the universe for as long as I’m in this world.
.
Fair winds and following seas, my dear, departed friend. Until we meet again…

Thank you Alan for being a great boyfriend at one time with wonderful travels, thinking of scuba in Belize and me having to drive the stick shift Jeep. You have always stayed a friend with me after our time together. You inspired me… And still do today. I have taken your love of travel and the Earth to go further than I ever could. And I can see you holding Iain our son at 6 months and I know part of your spirit went into him too. As your friend Sally said I will see you in the Stars
