LORAL REILING

LORAL REILING 1946 ~ 2025 Loral Elroy Reiling, beloved husband of Pearl Audrey Reiling of Medicine Hat, passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 14, 2025, at the age of 79 years.
Loral was born on July 8, 1946, in Horsham, Saskatchewan to Philip and Alice Reiling. He attended the University of Calgary where he received his HVAC ticket and his Red Seal Ticket, coming in first in his class. He was offered a teaching position at the University, but he turned it down so that he could raise his family in Medicine Hat. Loral apprenticed at Starks Plumbing and Heating. When his apprenticeship was through he continued in the trades for seven years, eventually feeling that a shift was needed due to the seasonality of the work. He went on to a career at Alberta Western Beef as a Maintenance Supervisor, and within a year and a half, he was promoted to the superintendent of over 100 people. He stayed at Alberta Western Beef for ten years until the company closed the local plant. He was then offered a job in Edmonton at the head office, but he declined as he wanted to stay in Medicine Hat. Loral then went on to a management career at L&G Concrete which was owned by a neighbour. They were responsible for setting up portable concrete plants to build grain elevators. He stayed with the company until he retired.
Besides his loving wife, Pearl Reiling, Loral is survived by his two children, Kathleen (Jeffrey) Amos and Michael (Megan) Reiling; his three grandchildren, Justin Reiling, Evan Amos and Tyson Reiling; two sisters, Diana Wenzel and Lola (Jack) Bennett and three brothers, Vernon Reiling, David Reiling and Murray Reiling. He was predeceased by his parents, Philip and Alice Reiling and his brother, Kenneth Reiling. A private service was held in the Pattison Funeral Home & Celebration of Life Centre.
