He was a 1958 graduate of the University of Notre Dame, where he played baseball. After receiving his degree, he served his country for over three years with the U.S. Marine Corps as an artillery officer. Mr. Reisert was a devout Catholic and adored and revered the Holy Mother.

For his professional career, Mr. Reisert was the President of Reisert Insurance, a respected insurance agency in Louisville, which was founded by his grandfather in 1884.

He was an avid supporter of Indiana University football and rarely missed a home game, where his tailgating with his family and friends was legendary. For over two decades, Mr. Reisert was “The Voice of Lakeside” and announced countless swim-meets at the quarry. Mr. Reisert was preceded in death by his parents, his brother, Robert E. Reisert, and his son, Kurt A. Reisert. He is survived by his brother John Reisert (Mary), his sisters Rita Olshansky (David), Ruth Ann Gatti (Bill) and his ten children: Trina O’Brien (Jay), Kiki Strother (Bobby), Bill Reisert (Elizabeth), Greg Reisert, Nick Reisert (Kathy), Peter Reisert, Heidi Hutchins (Peter), Mary Reisert, Paul Reisert, and Matthew Reisert and 16 grandchildren: Lars Barbercheck, Mia Barbercheck, Sam Strother, Claire Strother, Kathleen Reisert, Alex Reisert, Rachel Reisert, Eleanor Reisert, Elise Reisert, Anna Reisert, Katie Reisert, Raegan Reisert, Julia Reisert, Caroline Hutchins, Max Hutchins and Jude Hutchins.
