Hazel M. Reik, "full-time' Reds fan
During baseball season, Hazel M. Reik was a fixture in the press room overlooking Riverfront Stadium. But she wasn't a reporter.
She was the mother of William J. Reik, a limited partner of the Cincinnati Reds. She dressed in red before every home game and listened to sports radio whenever the team played out of town.
"A Cincinnati Reds fan - that's what she did full-time," said Reik, of New York City, in a telephone interview Monday from his room at the Quality Hotel Riverview in Covington. "She never missed a home game until she got ill."
Mrs. Reik, a lifelong Fort Thomas resident, died Monday at St. Luke Hospital East in Fort Thomas. She was 86.
Reik said his mother watched the Reds long before he became part-owner in 1985. When he did, he could count on her to be at every game and, when he was out of town and could not get a game on the radio, Mrs. Reik would put the telephone to the radio to let him hear.
"My dad always loved them (the Reds), she loved them, and it was fun for her," said Reik, Mrs. Reik's only son and the director of Frisch's restaurants.
Besides being a professional fan, Mrs. Reik was a homemaker and a long-time volunteer at St. Luke Hospital East. Her husband, William J. Reik, preceded her in death.
Other survivors include a grandson and three great-grandchildren.
